Can't get back window up

[Stihlindixie]

The regulator was replaced a year ago and I've really don't use the back windows, but did today and read drivers window will not go up. What can I do to get it to roll up. It's supposed to rain this weekend.

Down works but not up?

Could be wiring in the door or a bad switch.

If you remove the door panel, you can power the motor directly.

Once I get the door panel off how to I power it directly to get the window up. Only had the panel off once before when regulator was replaced.

Are we talking about your 96 300D? Can you hear the window motor run when you use the window switch?
As vstech says, you'll probably have to remove the door panel to diagnose. If the new regulator was one of the cheap aftermarket brands, those have been known to break pretty easily.

First thing to do is check switch. Dirt in contacts is "normal" item in most. Not too bad to take apart and clean-just be careful disassembing, as there are steel balls and springs in most.

It's getting power but can hear something clicking. I bet it's the regulator that has gone bad again.
