1998 Corvette power window

I have a 1998 corvette convertible and the driver-side window won't go down. All the other controls on the switch function. When I push the button for the window it makes a noise , but nothing happens. Is the problem the regulator motor or the control module? Can you give a step-by-step instruction on how to trouble-shoot?

It sounds like you have power coming out of the switch to the motor because of what you hear. So that pretty much leaves you with a window regulator problem. Make sure there's no binding action between window & frame

1987 corvett both windows went up by themselves now they won't go down I have 12 volts on both wires to the motor is there a relay some where

12 volts when? going up or down? both windows? check the switch. the black wires coming out of the switch is ground. if those have power, then check the ground connection. G201 is near the left side of steering column. the motor should have power on one wire and the other is ground, they just swap to go up or down. I suspect the switch is bad.

Trying to locate manual release tab 1998 Corvett fuel door

The fuel filler door release is the black button at the front of the center console storage compartment.

If your fuel filler door release won’t operate, there is a manual release tab. The tab is located against the upper trim in the rear compartment on the driver's side.

2006 corvette convertible power top went down fine will not go back up. checked trunk lid and storage area sensors

This is so old, i'm guessing you probably fixed it by now. But anyway, I had the same problem. It started to occasionally happen after my battery died. When it did happen, I would let both windows up, then push the up button on the convertible top. The windows would go down, then the top goes up. Worked every time. Hope this helps.
