[Shotimes] Power Window Quiz

[Brent Running]

Recently had a failure like this. Haven't take time to identify what went bad. I did, however have to roll up the window so that my 5 year-old in the back seat wouldn't freeze. Pulled the door panel off, removed the three screws that mount the motor and gear assembly to the door, reached in and pushed the window up then replaced the motor and gear assembly. Back on the road in about 10 minutes.
