Steps
Disconnect the battery and remove trim
Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the door panel screws, release the panel clips, lift the panel away, and disconnect the latch cables and courtesy light wiring.
Secure the glass and remove the regulator
Loosen the window track and regulator fasteners. Support the glass, raise it by hand, and tape it securely before removing its mounting bolts, unplugging the motor, and withdrawing the regulator assembly.
Separate and replace the motor
Remove the motor fasteners from the regulator and separate the motor. Attach the replacement to the regulator and tighten its fasteners to the vehicle's specification.
Reinstall the regulator and glass
Feed the assembly into the door and loosely install its mounting bolts. Reconnect the motor lead, lower the glass onto the track, and secure the glass and track fasteners.
Reassemble and test
Reconnect the courtesy light and latch cables, align the door panel, and press its clips into place. Reinstall its screws, reconnect the battery, and cycle the window to check smooth operation.
