ok here's the question.

I've researched my problem, and it seems to me that it is my regulator. I'll explain my problem to have someone confirm that I am most likely correct.

My window is very touchy (driver's window). Sometimes it will go down, sometimes it wont. When it does go down, its damn impossible to get back up again, but eventually it will go back up. When it doesn't go back up, it makes a clicking sound, much like something is engaging (I haven't actually looked behind the panel to see what is happening), but nothing happens.

The research that I have done here makes me believe that it is the window regulator. It seems to be a common problem. Would someone like to confirm this is probably the ailment?

So the question is, Does a window regulator come with a motor and wire? I am not even sure what a window regulator is, nor have I seen one. If someone could explain, or even show me pictures of (plus location) this part, it'd make my repairing this by myself much easier. I will probably order the part from Bill Jenkins as I dont want to pay an arm and a leg at the dealer.

Thanks for ALL help.

That's pretty much what happened to mine. It was the regulator. The part that actually failed was in the cable.

Yes, the regulator should come with the motor and cable.

You cannot tell for certain what is wrong until you pull the door panel and have a look, but I'm betting on it being a regulator problem like mine was.

The regulator does come with a motor. I had to get one for my rear window last year. Check on ebay.

does anyone know the part number? I'll probably try a wreaker before I buy it, but I want it on hand anyways.
