If someone could offer me some advice on this problem please. I'd like to know how you go about replacing the power window motor in a VZ, below is a description of my problem and what happened. I suspect it's the electric motor.
All of a sudden without warning my passenger side window stopped working, after lowering it a little on the way to work like i always do upon arriving it failed to let me it put it back up again. I could hear the relay for that window making a ticking noise when i had he button pressed to try and raise it but nothing from the window, as i lifted my finger off of the button the window would do a tiny downwards movement even tho i was trying to make it go up.
Later on in the day i tried it again and it "shuddered" down and after that it started working fine again consistently. Leaving from work to head home i tried it again(i now wish i had've left it alone) and it wound down normally and back up a few times but then failed, it refused to go back up with the relay ticking noise again. Changing the relays from the driver side made no difference, the drivers side continued to work with the passengers relay and the passenger window failed with the changed drivers side relay.
Anyone had experience with replacing the motor mechanism? I taken off the door panel and plastic, it looks pretty inaccessible with the winding gear pop riveted in place with the motor.
Is there something i can do to manually wind the window back up again so i can secure the car and not having to worry about rain? There seemed to be a round black plastic wheel of sorts that looked like you could turn that for manual movement but it refused to budge.
