Window Reg. Blues
So the window is all the way up and refuses to come down. Though there is a click that signifies something is getting a signal, it just refuses to come down.
Is there a WINDOW LOCK that i dont know about.
Or is it the usual faulty regulator???
I have the warranty so it shouldnt be a big deal I just truely hate bringing it to the dealership.

If you hear the relay click but the window does not go down, the motor is probably stuck. You may be able to get it to work for awhile by beating on the door panel, but once they mess up, you will need to replace the regulator assembly to get rid of the problem.
You can replace the window regulator assembly yourself, but the part will cost you between $200 and $350, depending on how much of a discount your dealer or internet supplier will give you.
I replaced both of mine, and the hardest part is getting the door panel off without breaking anything. There are a few posts with pictures if you search. One tip I can give you is, mark the position of the glass with tape so you can put it back in the exact same position.
I put a piece of masking tape on the outside molding and on the glass. Then I drew a mark on both pieces of tape to locate the glass's forward/back position. Put the tape on the glass so it is along the top of the outside molding to mark the up/down position. You might want a piece at the front of the glass and also at the rear edge.
