so if it turns out to be the motor, yuh gonna buy a USED one and replace it urself? u know what u doing? or u going with this knowledge by a pro (who'll likely have a pile of parts and may well charge a minimal fee for parts and labour)?

nah man syndicate...when ppl come in, some does sound like "guness" and "ganayse" and "ginayse"....I narrow it down to "Ganess" as d only reasonable explanation as it could be a last name....
"Guiness" doh sound right, cuz de man doh drink..at least daz wha he tell mih

I nearly tort his name was Ganesh one time this old dude came in (I used to send ppl dey and most times hadda go wit dem so I was there prolly once a month or so)

nah breds, the reason I say that, is cuz not everybody have the same technical aptitude like we do...and the mere fact that de man come to ask if is d motor after he done figure out is not d switches (which is the next logical step in troubleshooting) demonstrates likely a doubt, an unwillingness or an inability to go further...hence, I recommended he see a professional

lewwe try a step-by-step ting here

you'll need:
a phillips screwdriver
a flathead screwdriver
a needle-nose pliers
a loaded firearm
2 full cans of beer
a refridgerator
a 12V power supply and enough wire to reach the door
patience
a friend with TWO functional hands who can follow instructions (preferably one that doesn't drink)
a ride to the Bamboo and back

mike, first open the door and remove the screws holding down the door handle and the lil finger pocket on the armrest on the inner door panel

instruct friend to place cans of beer in fridge...we'll get to those later

push door handle assembly foward (towards the frontof the car) and pry it out...the metal lever attached to the locking mechanism is attached to the handle via a lil clip that u snap on after pushing it into a small hole on the end of the handle...remove the handle itself

gently pry the panel off around the sides and bottom of the door panel (or you can ruff it up..depends on how u want ur panel to fit when you're putting it back together)

there's supposed to be a small grey plug near the bottom of the door..unplug it and apply a 12V (like from a small house adapter or other power supply...no sense getting it to the battery unnecessarily)

if it moves, it works...prob may be really the switch or the wiring...if not, have somebody hold the glass while u remove the two 10bolts holding it to the regulator assembly...remove glass and then proceed to remove the 4 10bolts holding the regulator to the door

take regulator..go to Bamboo...buy another...return home and replace it...re-assemble door panel/handle etc.)...shoot old regulator...pat yourself on the back and have a beer (or two...if your friend doesn't drink)

yup 12VDC source and a meter should be able to diagnose the problem

but if the driver's side did the same soon after i suggest checking the overall charge of the alternator
