The driver's window on my 2002 Buick Century won't roll up and it's stuck down inside the door. How can I pull it up? This happened to one of the back windows a few weeks prior but it didn't fall all the way down. I had to tape the window in place. However, I can't grasp the driver's window. Should I use pliers? It'll be a couple of weeks before I can afford to get the windows fixed and it's cold!

Switch setting on drivers door not correct. May be in lockout to prevent accidental operation when driving or the switches themselves are faulty.

It's probably a bad switch.

sounds like you should check your e brake cable may not be releasing

It is inside the door.

Time to wander through the spaghetti of wires and contacts with voltmeter looking for a closed circuit to ground. Sounds like the radio is where to start.

It is a common problem for the window regulators to fail on many makes of cars nowdays,and that sounds like what going on with your car.They will have to be replaced as an assembly.

Sounds like your window regulator has gone bad. either that or the switch but most likely you have a bad window regulator

most likely the problem is the driver side switch or the motor you will have to jump the motor to determine the problem

The window regulator has gear teeth on it that connects to a metal track attached to the window glass. The teeth are most likely stripped and the grinding noise is the motor trying to mate to the broken teeth. You need to replace the window regulator and I wouldn't hesitate to replace the motor at the same time. It's a costly fix but worth it to only have to be inside the door once and the motor will have to be removed at the same time the regulator is replaced. If you can reach the glass and pull up on it at the same time you can probably get it to roll up as a temporary fix.

I need to instal a window regulator on the driver side, I need step by step to install it
