i had my driver side power window regulator replaced a few months ago so i dont think it is the problem... what happened is for the past few weeks my window just would stop working...it makes no noise and does nothing...but the other 3 windows work perfectly. usually it will eventually just work again...but today it just quit when with the window about 2 inches open. i thought it may be a loose connection or something and i took off the door panel but didnt notice anything obvious. but i did notice that when i pushed the button and had my radio on, it would go to static but the window still wouldnt work. any ideas because im stumped. thx

well thx for all the info ... the shop said my motor is done and my power window controller is done...but the thing is i took out the little box a long time ago because my power locks quit working and when id hit the button, the box would buzz, so i took it out. and today the shop tells me that box has something to do with my windows...even tho it has been removed for over a year but just yesterday it makes it stop working??? that makes no sense... am i being ripped off? the little "box" i am talkin about is inside the door, gray, and about 3x5 inches id say. does this box control pwer windows or just locks or both? if it controls the window, why would it work perfectly for so long and suddenly the absence of this box make a difference? sorry if i rambled. thx ... SOMEONE WITH KNOWLEDGE PLEASE REPLY

i had my door apart this weekend. i assume that the box your are speaking about is the control unit for the locks and windows. in my car (6th gen) windows and lock go through this 1 box. don't know if it helps,but i'd hate to see another 24hrs go by and you awenser again
