Power window stopped working on '99
The window in the driver's door will no longer go down. Fuses are OK, everything else works, can hear a click when the switch is depressed but no window movement. The car's under warranty so it'll go to the dealer for fix, but has anyone had this problem and if so was it just a bad motor or something else?

Yep! Bad motor. I've had this happen on both of the C5s that I've owned. In my case, it was the passenger side that quit working. The only fix is to replace the motor/regulator assembly.
I've read that you might be able to get the window to work again by beating on the inside door panel just above the lock. It never worked for me though.

Try beating on the door panel with the flat of your hand - Just above and to the left of the SPEAKER, while depressing the window switch.
This has worked for me the last two times this has happened over the last 18 months.
