Default HELP....Driver Side Window will not operate...

The driver side window will not go up or down. When I push the switch I hear a faint click and the courtesy lights dim telling me the swithc works. Could be window motor or relay??? How hard is it to get the door panel off and see what is going on? Is this common? I only have 14K mikes on the 2000 and the window has probably only gone up and down 50 times.....

Thanks for any advice.....

Same thing happened to me. I had to get the motor replaced. For me it was a warrenty item.

Both of my windows did this on my 2003. 2 motors replaced under warranty. Its easy to get the door panel off, search on speaker replacement and you will find instructions, but it won't help you for this. From reading the service manual, re-aligning the window after a motor replacement is not trival.
