Default Need to reprogram?

Found a used driver side window regulator for my car from Cleveland Pick A Part..175 shipped! Couldn't be any more excited about the savings.

When putting a regulator out of another car into mine do I need to get it reprogrammed or will it plug in and work fine?

No. It is only a window regulator. It is not HAL. (Movie reference).

Yeah I guess that. I was told by the company I am buying the used regulator from and they told me that it had to be reprogramed because it was attached to the prior cars VIN. I haven't heard of that but wanted to check. They made it sound as if it wouldn't work at all if I didnt

That's true for a replacement radio but not a window regulator.
