Start small. Check the fuses. If all good, push your window button. If you don't hear anything, it's either a bad switch, window motor, broken wire, or loose connection. If you hear the window motor while pushing button, yet the window won't go up or down, then it either came off track or the window motor gears stripped out
Can you hear the motor working when you push the button to go up or down? If you do not hear it, then it is most likely a wire disconnected at the switch, or a broken wire.
If you can hear the motor, then the gear which is usually made of nylon has stripped out and will no longer raise the window. If you can get ahold of the top of the window at all, have a friend or someone else pull up on it while you push the up button. You can frequently get a window up this way. Once you get it up, use some duct tape along the edge to the metal, and not your upholstery to hold it up. The adhesive can be cleaned off the metal door, but not off of the upholstery.
You can remove the door handles and power window switches and the screws in the door pad and push up on the pad and it will come out of the track and then you can see the motor and replace the part yourself. Hope this helps.
This means the window has slid out of the clips at the base that connect the window to the motor arms. try pushing down on the window up against the clamp and see if it snaps back in. if it does not you might have to open up the inside of the door and push it in from there.
{: ) Sounds like you have a faulty window regulator. Usually the regulator cable gets broken or detached. If this is the case, your window may not move at all, even though the motor seems to be working when you switch the button up or down.
The door trim panel need to be removed totally. Once removed, you will find two bolts for the glass catch, 3 bolts for the motor, and 4 bolts for the regulator.( all #10mm )
Begin by loosening the 2 bolts on the rubber insulated glass catch, just enough to pull the glass up from its track. You may need an assistant. You need to lift the glass (only) to the top closed position, and apply a strong masking tape to hold the glass on that position for the time being.
Continue by removing the motor and regulator bolts. I hope the replacement part is readily available. I think the window regulator comes in assembly, the motor is integrated to the regulator.
When bolts removed, simply pull out and fold to remove outwards. Be sure you remember how it was mounted before you removed it.
Installation is just the reversal procedure. Position first the regulator assembly and semi-tight all the bolts. Its better if you just follow the old bolt markings. Secure motor connection.
Loosen the two bolts on the glass catch, just enough for the glass to slide and seat freely. Temporarily connect the window switch. Press the up button slowly and align the glass with the catch. When glass seated fully, tighten the 2 bolts on the catch to hold it firmly. You can remove now all the tapes you sticked.
Try to operate the window up and down carefully and observe. Make that final tightening of the regulator with the glass resting in the the full up position. Re-install the trim panel. Goodluck.
1. Start the car and leave it idle. 2. Hold the window button down all the way, until the window is completely down.
3. Let go and push it down again and hold the window button for 2 to 3
seconds then let go. (You should be able to hear or feel (very faintly)
the motor/sensor reset.) 4. Pull up on the window button and roll the window up until it is all the way up, when it is up let go. 5. Pull the button up again for 2 to 3 seconds. (You should be able to hear or feel (very faintly) the motor/sensor reset.)
While holding the button in the down position with the key in the "on" position tap on the window motor with a hammer. Or if the window is down, hold the button in the "up" position. If window starts working when you do this there is most likely a bad spot on the armature in the window motor or the brushes in the motor have worn out. Hope this is helpful. Good luck.
