Okay guys,
Hate to break it to ya you need to change out the regulator, but if the motor is still good then all you have to buy is regulator without motor. If not then buy it with the motor. If you are thinking about trying to set the wire back on the regulator think to yourself if I do this will it happen again? YES it will and do you want to keep pulling off the panel to reset the wire over and over again? How many miles do you have on your Intrigue's? Mine broke down at about 76,800 miles. The only way to check is to take off the regulator and motor. Not that hard to do. There are 4 bolts holding the regulator in I think it's a 10mm socket. There are 3 bolts holding the motor.
Your best bet is buying it from ebay the cheapest way to go. And you don't have to worry about bidding on it there is only a buy it now button.
The one I bought off of ebay cost me a total of $70 something dollars. Very cheap if you asked me with the motor.
(just go to ebay motors type in window regulator for intrigue in parts section).
Disclamer: Be very careful with your window, last thing you need if you do it on your own is to break that damn glass.
1) Get a piece of wood dowel if you are going to to do this on your own (to hold up the window in the track).
2) You both have taken off your door panels? Right?
First if it is at all possible roll the window down til you are able to see and get to the two bolts holding the glass to the regulator itself (a white plastic piece with 2 bolts at the back bottom of the glass. If you can't get to them this way you better go take a cig break cause it's going to be a bitch to get to. Trust me I busted some knuckles over this.
3) Loosen all 7 bolts but do not remove yet. This is where the wood dowel comes in to play. Loosen and remove the 2 bolts holding the glass to the regulator. If you do have an extra hand helping you great tell that person to hold the glass up off the regulator til you remove the 7 bolts holding the regulator and motor up. If you are doing on your own place the dowel inside the door so it will hold up the glass for you til you are able to get the regulator and motor out. Do not forget to unhook the power wire to the motor.
4) Once the motor and reg. are out take the new regulator and motor and put in reverse order. With the motor going in first. Thread the three bolts to the motor. Do the same for the regulator (4 bolts).
5) Put the glass back on to the regulator and bolt down. Now you can tighten up the rest of the (7) bolts. Make sure you plug the power wire for the motor back in. test to make sure first before putting door panel back on. And that should be it. Hope it helps.
One thing with mine the motor is still good. But the wire is all chewed up so I just said f__k it and spent the extra $20 for the motor too. Kept the motor tossed the regulator in the trash. Might sell the motor or keep it for a spare. Don't know yet
