Solution

1. Preparation

Gather necessary tools including a socket set, screwdriver set, trim removal tools, and multimeter.
Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Remove Door Panel

Use trim removal tools to carefully detach the door panel clips and screws.
Start by removing screws located in the armrest and behind the door handle.
Gently pull the door panel away from the door frame to expose the window motor and regulator.

3. Inspect and Test Window Motor

Disconnect the wiring harness from the window motor.
Use a multimeter to check for continuity in the motor; if there is no continuity, the motor may need replacement.
If continuity is present, manually operate the motor by applying direct battery voltage (use caution).

4. Replace Window Regulator or Motor (if necessary)

If the motor is faulty, remove the window motor by unscrewing it from the regulator assembly.
Install the new motor by reversing the removal process, ensuring it is secured properly.
If the regulator is damaged, replace it by detaching it from the window glass and door frame, then install the new regulator and reattach the window glass.

5. Reassemble Door Panel

Reconnect the window motor wiring harness.
Carefully align the door panel back onto the door frame, ensuring all clips engage properly.
Reinstall screws and ensure everything is tight and secure.
