All right, before I get started here, I'd like to say that I don't have much experience working on cars - I'm just recently out on my own in the world and so the whole car repair business in a bit new to me.
So, my front, driver's side automatic window in my 1996 Contour is stuck in the down position. It was working just fine (besides a faint clicking sound) all day, until it just decided not to come up anymore. I guess I'll outline some things:
1) all other windows work fine from driver's control panel - (back window control don't work, it's been that way for a while - I'm assuming it's unrelated)
2) I can hear the relay click when I press on the button in the down direction, but no clicking when I press the up button - I'm assuming if it's clicking at all, it's all right and that the problem isn't the relay
3) I can't move the window at all. I have taken the door panel off and have gotten both hands on the bottom of the window and tried to pull it up, but it just won't budge.
4) This leads to a problem of replacing the motor. My Hanes manual says to remove the glass first, but since the window is stuck down, I can't get to those mounting bolts. Am I going to be able to even get that motor out to replace it?
Ok, well I think that's it. I haven't checked the fuse yet because the other windows are working (and, to be quite honest, I can't locate the main fuse box) Anyway, any help at all would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Cory
