Default Question About Electric Windows.

The drivers door window stopped working properly.Upon opening the the door panel I discovered that the wire cable was broken.This cable feeds into a small motor and actuates the up and down motion of the window.

Am I able to just buy the broken cable or do I have to buy the whole assembly?

PS: This pertains to a 2002,2500,4WD Suburban.

You can also splice the wires back together. Very simple procedure,

I've never spliced a braided wire before.Could you possibly explain how this may be done?

Thank you.

It sounds like the cable from the lift motor to the guide is cut. You can get that part at parts store such as autozone.

I have soldered them back together before. I also used heat shrink tubing.
