Passenger window recall or TSB?
Same song, same verse. My passenger window motor has been replaced under warrenty. Now i'm out of warrenty and it's quit working again. I've done a search and will try the other "home" remidies. The "bang on door panel" didn't work. Just wondering if there is a recall or TSB on this. There darn should be. Thanks.

My fix was to have the motor replaced as well as the BCM. No problems since.. In fact after replacing the motor, the dealer still had the problem until the BCM was replaced.
