I got back to my truck after work this afternoon and my window was down. I was thinking what the heck, I know I didnt leave it down. I try to roll it up and nothing. I can hear somthing going on inside though. For about the past week it had been making a noise when I rolled it down. Kind of sounded like it was dragging on something. I was suspecting that it was the regulator but didnt have the time to investigate. Does this sound like its a broken regulator?

To make it worse, I put a check in the mail yesterday to pay it off a year early!

 

Sounds like a window regulator to me. Been there, twice.

 

Did you replace it yourself?

 

Yes, the hardest part is taking off the door panel. It's really not that hard to do if you have a little mechanical skills.

Do an advanced search, I think there is one with a writeup.

 

I think this is the same thing that's starting to happen to me.

 

At least im through with the hardest part. I just couldnt get the cable off the connected to the inside door handle. So I had to hold the panle while I was investigating.

 

If you look at the top of the handle bucket where it connects to the door panel there is a little clip that you push down to unlock the bucket from the door panel. Then you fish it through the opening and the panel is free.
