I have the same problem, except my drivers window won't go down. It's cold up here in SD, but I like my windows down for no reason.

Since you still hear the click, it seems like the fuse still works fine. But check your owners manual for exactly where the fuse is and check it.

But my bet it is the motor. I don't remember how much they cost, but you can get a remanufactured one from NAPA for $40 plus core of like $30 or something. But that was a different model so yours will probabley vary.

Install is pretty easy. Pop off the door, force the window up and you should be able to reach the window motor. It's just 2 bolts on the motor and should come right out. Then just replace everything. Feel free to email me at sporkdevil@yahoo.com for some better directions if you get stuck. Check your fuse first though!

ok, after having a few days to play with it, it only works (and sometimes at that) after i turn my truck on and the doors lock. sometimes it will, sometimes it wont. but thats when it likes to work more than any other time i can figure out. and then it will work at random times while im driving. and when i roll it down, its fine for the first half, then it goes really slow the rest of the way and have to help push it down a little. now that i have a little more info on it, can anyone help me?

See how it works when you are opening and closing the door (Hold the switch while you are moving the door...). On one of my old cars, the wires in the door jamb broke due to the constant flexing. It sounds like you might have something similar....
