Window won't work: NOT the "replace plastic bushings" problem.
Thanks to help from this forum, I've done that "bushings replacement" fix on 5 different doors.
I thought this was the same problem again... the Sound it makes is very similar.
I took apart the motor... the vinyl bushings were a bit lop-sided, but still intact. Still, I replaced them, anyway.
The driver's window still will not go up or down.
With a hand on Inside and Outside of the window, I can slide it up / down.
So, I think the motor gear is not in contact with the big metal window frame gear (about 10" long).
I cut a hole, so I can see that the spline in the center of the motor gear IS in the hole that it should be in. With the motor in hand, the gear does go around.
Ever heard of this problem before?
I was told that this problem started about a year ago, out of the blue.
Thanks, people.
