GM SUCKS! Power Window no longer works

Power window on my 2000 silverado on the driver side doesn't work anymore. you actually hear the motor when you press the down button but the window stays in the up position. What happened and how much will it cost to fix it, or what should I look into to find out whats wrong?

Re: GM SUCKS! Power Window no longer works

"GM SUCKS!"?????? Go trade it in for a Dodge or Ford and deal with their problems?????

Airplanes fall out of the sky, boats sink and fishing lines break. Get a grip "newbie" and settle down!!!

Could be the motor drive gears broke since you can hear the motor run. You'll probably have to replace it.

Also check that the window is not jamming to cause stress on the motor and gears.

Re: GM SUCKS! Power Window no longer works

every vehicle has its problems. With that said. figure it out on your own. Since we must be stupid cause we all love our GM vehicles.

Re: GM SUCKS! Power Window no longer works

I park under an oak tree that has been dripping sap for about a month. It stuck my wife's window so bad that she couldn't roll her window up. Do you have sap on yours?

Re: GM SUCKS! Power Window no longer works

It's probably just a bad regulator. They cost around 200 bucks and take about an hour or so to install.
And if "GM sucks" just because you have one window problem on a 5 year old truck, then your head would probably explode if you had to put up with the crap that goes wrong on a Ford or a Dodge. A simple window problem is a walk in the park compared to the shit that goes wrong on those trucks. I know, I worked at a Ford and Dodge dealership.

Re: GM SUCKS! Power Window no longer works

Didnīt Ford tell F-150 owners to park on the curb so their house house wouldnīt catch on fire because of the trucks suddenly catching on fire from a bad cruise control?

If you have power windows, they're bound to break sooner or later. It doesn't matter what you drive.

i hope all these threads helped answer your questions. now wat u need to do is take your truck back to the dealer and tell them u are too stupid to drive it and go out and get a bus pass.
