Yep, it happened to me on my '02 along with about four other items during a long trip. Took it to the dealer upon my return and was fixed. Sorry but I don't know what the problem was-just glad to get it fixed. Good luck

This is a common problem with all GM cars. You'll need a new motor/regulator assembly to fix the problem. Your current motor has a dead spot on the armature.

You might get it to start working again for a while by beating on the door panel while holding down the window switch. I got mine to work by slamming the door hard while holding the switch.

I've owned Corvettes for a long time and have seen alot of stuff go weird on them but it still makes me :lolg: :lolg: :lolg: when I see how we implement fixes to Chevrolets premier flagship piece of world-class engineering.

Slamming the door is probably a more reliable route to repair then taking it to a stinking dealership. :lol: :lol: :rolleyes: :leaving:
