Ok. I took a part the door panel. When I press the window switch I can hear and feel a clicking sound but the window will not move. The motor was very hot. It appears the motor is draining the power from the battery so I disconnected the battery. The motor cooled down. I think I need to replace the motor and regulator. The problem is the window is stuck in the down position and I cannot get to the screws to remove the glass. Is there a way to manually raise the window? I am afraid of forcing the window up and breaking the glass. I cannot replace the motor and regulator assembley if the window is in the down position. Anyone out there know how to put the window up?

Also I have not figured out why the wipper blades will not turn off. I am able to adjust the speed but I cannot turn it off when the engine is running. I had to remove the fuse to get it to stop.

Thanks!

Bert

Tap the motor with something while you use the switch.

Thanks for the tip. I tried it but the window won't budge. I cannot even manipulate the window with my hands. When I pressed on the switch I can hear the motor clicking. It would click intermitently even when I was not holding the switch down. I guess I will just try removing the whole assmbly from the door and then remove the glass.

Thanks again! It looks like the whole thing needs to be replaced.

If it's clicking, it'll probably move if you keep trying to tap it while holding the switch to up.

I just remembered your other problem below. It could be the one touch down relay. Use the diagram to check for power loss somewhere in the circuit before replacing anything.

Thanks Bert. I was able to get the whole assembly out safely. It appears the regulator is frozen. I tried tapping but it still would not budge. I ordered another one today. Thanks for all of your advise.
