Hey my driver side power window went out on me this week. For a few days it was making a horrible noise now it will go down a little but wont go up at all. Im assuming the motor needs to be replaced? Anyway anyone know where i can find one and how much they cost? Im not sure if i should do this myself or have a shop do it. Ive installed the speakers in my doors n know how to take off the panels. Should it be easy to do? Any info would help. Its raining now and i have a garbage bag taped to the window. :uhoh:

Yea, same problem...come to think about it my car is a wreck, but it can be easily fixed if you have the part. I know hardly anything about working on my car and I did it. Especially considering you took off the door panel before it shouldn't be a problem. My motor wasn't working and i took off the panel-tinkered with it a little and it worked again. It had worked for a solid month after doing this and then failed to work again. It has something to do with how the wires get positioned or something like that. I recommend trying this method first and opting to buy a new motor and doing it yourself. It shouldn't be too hard so don't waste your money by going to a shop. Luckily for you--you've taken off hte door panel before. In my cas it was the first time and i ended up fucking with the window lock feature rendering it unusuable. However, you've done it before so it shouldn't be too difficult.

If you wanna buy a new one just check out any site mentioned in the FAQ or Window Regulators (http://oem.thepartsbin.com/parts/thepartsbin/wizard.jsp?year=1991&make=DG&model=STEA-ES-001&category=All&part=Window%20Regulator&dp=false)

actually, after looking at the price of the link he gave you, you'll come out cheaper buying it from either www.rockvillemitsubishi.com or www.mentormitsubishi.com
