Electric window stopped working
The driver window on my 2000 Silverado 1500 will not open. There is a clicking sound when I push the switch, but no movement. The dealer service tech guessed it was the motor, and estimated it would cost $350-400 + parts to repair. I might be able to do the repair, but can't find any instructions on how to remove the interiordoor panels, but I don't want to break anything by forcing it. Does anyone have any guidance on removing the panel or know where to get good guidance? Thanks.

RE: Electric window stopped working
First remove the door handle bezel and the switch panel.The doorhandle bezel isheld in place by four plastic retainers. Use a flat bladed tool. The switch panel lifts up at the front and then out.
I believe there are three screws holding the door trim panel. One is at the bottom front of the door trim panel. Two more are at the top center, I think in the door handle area. Once these three screws are removed, slide the door trim panel up to release it.

RE: Electric window stopped working
Thanks, I have the panel off and am down to what I believe is the motor. I have power to the motor when I push the switch. The motor seems to besuspended from the mechanism with 4 star headscrews, but I am only able to get a driver on three of them. The fourth is not accessible as the cutout in the metal door lining restricts access. Or, there is another way to get it off that I am not seeing. I want to be careful to not mess up the allignment of the window mechanism. I would appreciate any additional advice.
