@rscurtis:
My window is also stuck in the "up" position. I think you are saying that somehow you got the motor free from the scissor-like regulator assembly, and removed only the motor from the door. I would like to do this too, if that's all I need to do. Did you remove the motor only, or was that just a step towards getting the regulator assembly out? It looks to me like one of the motor bearings is up inside the larger gear assembly, judging from Phil's photo blowup.
I see two of what appear to be Torx headed screws where the motor meets the gear assembly. If I can get those screws out, will I be able to pull the motor and its worm drive gear straight out? Will the "regulator scissors" then compress and allow the window to come down? Does the window fall, or does it need some help getting down?
@Phil and rscurtis:
What type of lubricant did you choose to use on the motor bearings when you worked on yours?

Have you checked the wiring where it runs through the door. The insulation may be frayed and shorting out.

@blindwolf:
Thanks for the tip about the wiring. I'll check that.
Thanks again!
