since i bought the truck i could move the passenger and driver window up and down by hand. if you push the up or down control you can hear the motor working but doesn nothing. the previous owner said both windows fell down after hitting a big bump in the road. i pulled the door panel today and couldnt come up with anything. i think ive narrowed it down to the regulator or the motor. whats your guys two cents?

 

Rebuild your motors. Look in The Sticky for a full write-up on just this kind of issue. The small planetary bushings have disintegrated and aren't actuating the gear that acts on the regulator to move the windows up and down.

 

Okay I'll take it apart and see how bad the gear is. You know of anywhere to find a replacement gear?

 

Dorman part# 747-411
Bought 2 in the last month from Carquest, they had to order them.

 

I pulled the window motor and pulled the cover and gave it power and the drive gear from the motor was not engaging the large plastic gear. I'm guessing over time the plastic gear wears out and no longer engages. I ordered 2 new gears, hope it fixes it. I was messing with the driver window and knocked the roller nearest the handle off the hinge and couldn't get it back on. You know an easy way to get it back on the tract?

 

Here's what the gear looks like

 

i pulled the regulator to lube it up and the spring fell out and im not sure which way it goes and ive tried it a couple different ways and cant get it right, anybody have a picture how it goes?

 

Pretty sure the write up in the sticky has pics and a full walk through on how to repair these.

 

Must be showing my age but how do you access a sticky? Now that the VE pump is done I'm fixing drivers door power window,spring fell out.
Thanks

Been searching for coupla hours and can't find the write up on the regulator spring. Any help would help!

 

Did you get an answer about the spring? Mine popped out too and I'm scratching my head!
