They tend to break in the rubber tube that the wires are inside of as they pass from the side of the car into the door (look where the hinge is). Make it a bitch to get at them though. Long needle-nose plyers and a maglight are the magic tools :) Take the foam off the door, disconnect the wires from the motor (you can do this without removing the motor but it's tricky... you have to work by feel), and test for voltage with a multimeter. I've also had motors die on me. Luckily they are rather easy to replace. Get a used one from a junkyard. Use some duct tape to hold the window up and then getting the motor in and out isn't too hard. ----------------------- Scott I.
