Power Window Motor
My driver's side power window doesn't seem to work any more. I've not really done any troubleshooting yet, but when you try to push the switch to raise or lower the drivers side window, I see my voltage gauge drop slightly. This tells me that the switch is good and that the motor may be seized.
Any one see any flaws in that logic? Any further ideas?

This is another very common problem. There are 3 small phonelic rollers inside the motor's gearbox that disintegrate into little pieces and either cause it to slip completely or jamb up. The rollers are available on Ebay for $0.99, and removing the motor from the door is possible with common tools and a drill. Do a search here for "window motor", you should see a bunch of topics on it.
