Question
Hi Ben,   my drivers side window went down and now will not go back up.  You can hear a relay click when the switch is pressed either way.  What does this sound like to you?

Answer
Hello Don,

I think it is likely that you have a bad window motor.  The first thing you should do is to test to see that the switch is providing power to the motor.  If it is, it's almost a sure thing that the motor has failed.

If the motor is bad, replacing it isn't too difficult if you have some mechanical skills and the proper tools.  

Feel free to send me a follow up question if I can help you with anything else.

I am interested in answering questions regarding power window problems. Most typically those inquires will involve problems with window regulators, window motors, and window switches.

Experience

I have been repairing window problems full time for over seven years. I have repaired most all types of problems in the majority of domestic and import vehicles newer than 1988.
