Window stuck down in the snow
My 02 passenger side window stuck in the down position and all of the switches checked out OK. I smacked the window motor (door panel off) with a rubber mallet a couple of times and it started working again. I've read on some forum that even smacking the motor area with the door panel on will free up the motor. You might try that to see if you can get it going.
TRIM PANEL
REMOVAL
1. Remove the screw (1) that secures the interior
door handle (2) to the interior door handle actuator
(3).
2. Remove the interior door handle from the interior
door handle actuator.
3. If equipped, remove the manual window crank (1)
using a window crank removal tool (2).
4. Remove the two screws (2) that secure the door
trim panel (3) to the two screw inserts (1).
5. Remove the two screws (4) that secure the door
trim panel to the bottom of the door.
CAUTION: The door trim panel is attached to the
door by molded plastic retaining clips that are
integral to the door trim panel. Do not pull the
door trim panel directly off of the door or damage
to the trim panel and/or the power switch assembly
will occur.
6. Lift the door trim panel straight upward to disconnect
the molded plastic retaining clips (5) from the
door.
7. If equipped, disconnect the door wire harness from
the power door switch assembly and remove the
door trim panel.
POWER WINDOW MOTOR TEST
If the power window motor is receiving proper current and ground and does not operate, proceed with motor test.
1. Remove front door trim panel as necessary to gain access to power window motor wire connector (Refer to 23
- BODY/DOOR - FRONT/TRIM PANEL - REMOVAL).
2. Disconnect power window motor wire connector from door harness.
3. Using two jumper wires, connect one to a battery (+) source and the other to a good ground (-).
4. Connect the Negative (-) jumper probe to one of the motor connector terminals.
5. Momentarily touch the Positive (+) jumper probe to the other motor connector terminal.

When positive probe is connected the motor should rotate in one direction to either move window up or down. If
window is all the way up or down the motor will grunt and the inner door panel will flex when actuated in that one
direction.
6. Reverse jumper probes at the motor connector terminals and window should now move in opposite direction. If
window does not move or grunt, replace the motor.
If window moved completely up or down, reverse the jumper probes and cycle window to the opposite position to
verify full operation.
If motor grunts and does not move, verify that regulator is not binding.
