Ok everyone, I just wanted to post my dilemma so I could add to the mix. Id just like eveyones take. So today I go to lunch from work and notice when I put my window up in my 03 coupe there is a shutter sound and the window chokes as it goes up. Forgetting it did this during lunch I roll it down after work with ease and continue home. When i get home I realize "OH ****" and the window now sits dead inside my door. I found this thread "awesome sticky btw" took my door apart and got to the motor. Continued to clean it as instructed. Re-assemble half the door to see if it's working properly and it still doesnt have enough torque to bring the window up "I have to help it" but the motor isnt completely dead. Now, I remember seeing on the invoice when I bought my car 2 years ago with 30,000mi on it "now 51k" it had the same passenger side motor replaced....i was working on a replacement. My question is, do I buy another Refurbished motor or should I look for a brand new one? Im positive I can install it myself and where is this window motor "reset switch" if it's even a switch....I just dont want to spend money where it isnt needed. Thanks alot guys and any information will help! Damn the window motors!

 

Buy the new ones IMO.

 

Im having the same problem except my window rolls down when on it own and when I finally get the window up it will go back down!! How much does it cost to repair because the dealer jus told me it was gonna be freaking $500 for the part and labor!!!

 

Your limit switch on the window motor is bad. You can reset it but generally it will only fix the problem for a short time if at all. I would suggest contacting an independent service shop. We replace these all the time for a lot less.
