Re: removing window regulator

[rjandrew@post.cis.smu.edu (R Justin Andrews)]

The only way to test them is hook up direct power to the two wires on the
motor.... DId you hear the cables making noise when going up or down before???
If not, it is probably wiring... Also, make sure the fuse for the rear cig 
lighter is not blown... This I believ is on the same circuit..
Next step check the lockout switch... Never seen a motor fail unless it sat
out in the rain....

HTH!
