time for a new window motor or switch, I'm going to go with the window motor though. the passenger side gets used less than the drivers side, so it begins to have to work harder to go up and down, and soon the motor burns out. I know. mine is frozen in place as well, luckily mine is up.

that doesnt sound too expensive, am i right?

I think it's like $75 if you do the work yourself. that includes the install kit as well I believe. not too hard to do really. I got the manual and it says it's not too involved.

i know someone at a dealership so i went there today and its the switch. replacing it is a piece of cake all you do is click it in buuuut the switch is $250 canadian.

Do they make aftermarkets for stuff like that?

im gonna check around junk yards as well probaly...

250$ for a switch?! Holy crap.... Thats like.. what.. 175 US? That's crazy. I know you can find switch covers, don't know about the actualy switching assembly.

ever hear of a junkyard? $250, will they use lube, or are they going to just rape you dry?
