Read how to replace regulator, however How do I know if it is the motor or just the regulator? Is there some sort of diag that I can tell by?

Thanks..

If you hear something working inside and it is not going up it is probably the regulator.

Thanks for the feedback, only thing I hear is at the window control. Nothing in the window. Perhaps it is the motor. Also I was able to use the directions and get all the way to the see the window, however it will not budge from the regulator, almost as if it were stuck. I dont want to force it. Could this just be the motor? This is the drivers side window.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, Got the window to go back up with the remote. Goes up very slow. Goes down normal speed but need to keep my finger on it. One touch operation to make the window go up or down is not working. Is this the regulator?
