Re: windows wont go down??

I'd assume he has power windows? Have someone push the button (try the one on the driver door and the one that's broken) while you listen for the motor to engage. You might have to remove the door panel so you can see what's going on. While you're in there, look for corroded connections.

Re: windows wont go down??

I wouldn't install the new motor before testing it first. Hook up the wire harness to the new motor before you take out the old one. Then see if it runs when you push the button. There might be a busted connection...Those are very common and burnt motors are not. Motors usually become very weak, they dont just STOP out of nowhere.
