View Full Version : 01 Silverado Window motor replacement help 86blackt 03-23-2008, 03:46 PM My passenger side window isn't working, you can hear a click and see the draw on the volt meter, so I am thinking it is the motor. Anywhere to get info on removing door panel and replacing motor?? Thanks Rich demonstalker 03-23-2008, 04:35 PM Pull of the little piece up by the mirror, the top pops out then it lifts out. Pull off the lock jobber, there is a 7mm screw behind there. Pull the switch panel out of the door (pry from the top of it I think) and unplug it. There is another 7mm screw under the armrest by the hand hold and one more at the bottom of the door towards the front. Then the panel lifts up and off. From there there are 4 bolts holds the regulator guides to the door panel and a couple (or around that many) holding the motor to the door, you are going to have to figure out someway to get the window down halfway or so so you can remove the two bolts that hold the window to the regulator. Then its all the same just backwards for putting the new one in. 01 Suburban LS 03-24-2008, 12:52 PM Also you can get then entire regulator assembly from rockauto for $80. I just replaced the passenger side one on my moms 02 Tahoe. 86blackt 03-24-2008, 07:02 PM Cool, thanks for the info. Any other hints for happiness?? 01 Suburban LS 03-24-2008, 07:11 PM Its actually very easy to do. In fact, once I had the regulator installed and verified that the window operated normally, my five year old son put the door back together by himself. 86blackt 03-25-2008, 05:34 AM Great, is there a secret to keeping the window 1/2 way down? Thanks Rich 01 Suburban LS 03-25-2008, 08:36 AM You can use a towel as a wedge or have someone help you out. I just unbolted the glass from the regulator and removed it from the door. 86blackt 03-26-2008, 06:53 PM Do all of the bolts get rmoved that were under the door panel? I already removed 4 of them, just don't want to remove wrong thing!! Thanks 01 Suburban LS 03-26-2008, 07:53 PM Raise and support the window glass. Remove the trim panel. Remove the water deflector. Disconnect the harness from the electric window motor assembly. Remove the 2 bolts that hold the window glass to the regulator. Remove the 6 bolts from the window regulator. Remove the window regulator assembly from the door by folding both sides of the window regulator assembly together. http://www.differentracing.com/mike/parts/gmt800regulator.gif demonstalker 03-26-2008, 09:10 PM One thing that I found that made it easier to get the regulator out and back in the door was to cut the ziptie that holds the two cables together where they cross. It seemed to be easier to get it folded and out that way. 86blackt 03-27-2008, 04:58 AM Doesn't get any better than this info1! Thanks much. PM me with any HVAC questions and maybe I can return the favor!! Later Rich vBulletin® v3.8.2, Copyright ©2000-2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
