Default Window Regulator info req

I have the usual window regulator malfunction.

I was able to get my passenger regulator working using the hammer tap on the outside of the regulator.

My driver side however made crunching noises and only went down once and up once before being stuck.

I vaguely recall someone stating here that some of the replacement regulators on the market require a different connection harness.

I would like to avoid this. Who should i purchase through? Corvette action center advertises what looks like an oem replacement while ebay seems to look a bit different.

If anyone knowledgeable can give me some feed back i would appreciate it before i attempt the regulator repair post found here

I just ended up with the same problem. Decided to go get something to eat. Got in the car, started her up, rolled down the windows and drove to the restaurant. After I parked the car, I rolled up the windows. I noticed the passenger window didnt go up. I tried again and no luck. I thought maybe its the control panel on the driver side. So I went around the car and tried to roll up the window with the passenger window control panel. It didnt go up. It doesnt even make noise. Anyone know what the issue might be?
