There is an allen key adjustment/set screw at the end of the armature of the motor. Once you pull the panel off - it is pretty easily accessible. You can see it at 1:59 of this video. It is located just to the left of the black two - prong connector at the end of the motor. Adjust that in a quarter turn in while toggling the switch up and down to see if it the worm screw in the motor comes loose. If that doesn't do it for you come back out while toggling and see if that may start her up. Try this next time ! It worked for me.

Thanks a lot for this! I kept looking at how tight that cable was and assumed it was the issue, but was afraid to cut it lol. Knowing that it is just the regulator and can be replaced at a later time was good to know. Window is finally back up! Thanks again.

Thanks. Took me about an hour to replace this same unit on my '03 Regal. Bought the "regulator" with motor from AutoZone for $65. This repair at a shop would cost $300-$400. One heads-up for others who want to do this; the instructions say to use 3/8" socket. It is actually an exact fit for 10mm, not 3/8".

If window has became detached to the thing that holds it to roll up and down and you can't afford to fix it get Clear caulk and a calking gun and caulk rolled up window on Bottom on Both sides outside and inside but Not sides or top. Caulk window and rubber seal. It seals it. You can do it in 15 min. A retired mechanic gave me this tip. I caulked the window on a 2000, Camry. I have driven 200 miles and It stays up. If you ever want to fix the window right the caulk comes right off. The caulk is not noticed unless you are looking for it and get up close.

Thanks for this. I have a 2012 Kia Sorrento. I took the 3 bolts out of the motor that holds it to the door frame and removed it from the gear in the door frame. Without any restriction in the gear, window slid up easily and put the motor back into the gear. Reattached the door and put a plastic wedge on the inside of the window and door so it doesn’t slide down until my new motor arrives tomorrow from Amazon.

Don't rely on the friction to hold the window up when driving. If you hit a bump the window could slide down and possibly break. Wedge something in side the door panel to hold it up. I've used a empty plastic bottle in the past. It's also a good idea to grease the runners with some lithium grease and spray the rubber on the outer window with some silicon spray. This should make the window go up easier.

Scott, nice video however I'm wondering if it still works? I noticed at 3:28 when you released the window from the regulator the window is behind the regulator. At 6:01 you reinstall and place the window in front of the regulator. You can see the threads on the window bracket. So there's nothing really holding that together since the threads are in front now. It basically just using the bolt to push the window up and down through the hole in the regulator. I'd be surprised if it hasn't given you problems since the tracking has to be causing a strain on the whole mechanism. It's amazing how easy it is to put things back together and think it's all good because it works.

I like E L's comments.... the window may have tree sap beads, etc that make the channel it rides up and down in (outside edges of window sides) sticky. I would take RainX or similar 'rain beading' lubricant and make sure the edges of the window and the rubber it contacts at the sides and bottom of window opening are clean and lubricated. then.... see if the problem eases up or disappears. The problme may be stickiness/friction and not the motor.... especially is if just started suddenly as mine did on a hot day (A/C is running and that takes some electricity and the weather is hot and makes for dry and sticky droplets of tree sap). An old work mate used to say ... ' it's probably not complicated, just something simple or stupid ' )

Just as an FYI it could have just been the switch that went bad. If the motor fails that typically means it won't even go down. You'll hear the relays trying to engage, but won't move. My 05 Monte Carlo LS has the same issue on the driver side. Window goes down, but not up. That's a switch issue not a motor.

I've got a brand new window regulator and motor (I tried 2 different motors) and my window only goes down ... I think I've gotta figure out a way to reset my window system. It says roll the window down and hold it, once it's down, for 5-15 seconds, and then roll it up, and once it's up, hold it for 5-15 seconds . . . but my window doesn't go up. I have a feature on the outside of my car that allows me to hold my lock to the right to roll my windows up . . . and that works to roll it up, so . . . not to sure, ha.

My rear window couldn't roll up either. I adjusted the regulator and lubricated the whole thing, but that solved it just temporary. So finally I added a spring to support it on its way up. Never had trouble again, and I'm sure it'll last longer that way. Dividing the strain evenly between going up and down was the key ...

if you want an ACTUAL quick fix when the switch is bad and window goes down , but not up. Once you disconnect the wire going to motor connect a wire to each of the 2 motor wires and connect the other end to the - and + terminals of the battery of an portable power tool like a drill, and if the motor moves the window down just reverse polarity (wires) and it will move the opposite direction!

if you fully dissconnect the motor you can pull it up easily and sit the old motor on a tooth or a few off and turn it to aline it up with the holes in the regulator on the assembly and the mounting plate to keep your window up and it not go back down and just leave the power dissonnected so nobody accidently rolls it down but right now im in the process of solving the problem with mine cause my motor still runs but it wont go up the assemlby is fine cause i moved it up and down manually to make sure so im currently getting the window switch controler assembly for the front window and run through and check all the wire connections in the windwo assembly panel to make sure all wires are making proper contact cause i know if one switch is pushed up while the other is down the motor for windows down work it stops it so assentually if one wire is out of place or your switched is fried it could maybe do the same possibly?

the motor physically makes it impossible to pull the window up when its attached to the regulator so you have unbolt if from the regulator and pry it lose gently cause drive shaft toothing on it slides into the inner locking spaces on the regulators pulley so to separate it you can use a flat head screw driver and work it gently between the motor and the pully and pry it apart from it separating is once you down that you can pull it up easily and then just off set the motor and rotate it back to alignment but turning the whole assembly cause that gear just doesn't want to move easily to say so if do that you can re-tension your regulator and your window will never move down and keep it unplug so nobody hits the window switch and puts it down but to be honest generally your window regulator fails before your motor does so to be honestly connect some jumper cables to your battery and some test clips to the inner connection pegs on the motor if you want to test it connecting one way makes it go down then reverse the polarity but connecting backwards is should go up if your motor isn't your problem from there you now know its either wiring issue or your switch might be done for ill give you more info once I'm done working on my buick kind of doing this whole thing with of trouble shooting the circuit right now cause I've figure out my regulator is fine cause i could pull it up and my motor still is spinning so yea

@@ScottDriscoll Seeing the key being used like that bothered me too. Those keys can be very expensive, especially if it has the remote control for doors/trunk/alarm, etc. They take a special tool to cut because they are not like the old common keys that are cut on the edge; these new keys are cut along the flat side, so a standard key cutter cannot be used. Some of these keys can be over $300 from the dealer, and some are not available anywhere else. Thankfully, some are now being sold as blanks (if you can find someone that can cut them).
