    Recently, I replaced the left front window regulator on my '97. It worked ok for an aftermarket, but yesterday the window would go down but not up. I don't hear any motor noise at all in the up position. Could this problem be due to the window control switch. Please help. Thank you.

    it could be. try some electrical parts cleaner sprayed in the switch, it may clear up.

    you could test for poster at the regulator too.

    Well, I sprayed the switch with cleaner and no luck. I ordered and just installed a new switch assembly, and iy didn't help. Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for your suggestions and support.

    If as suggested you check for current at the motor's connector, you can eliminate the switch and wiring as the trouble. Go ahead and get that door trim panel off, you'll have to in order to solve this. Disconnect the glass from the regulator and tape the window in place. Run the regulator down, then try to go up. If it works fine run it back down, untape the window and see if the glass moves freely in the tracks. If it doesn't go up with the glass off it, find your warranty reciept because the regulator went bad. If the window does not move freely when loose from the regulator and the regulator goes up with the glass off, binding of the glass in the track may be causing the motor to stop before it can raise the glass, due to resistance. It thinks its all the way up and stops. First place to look if the glass itself is sticking, is the channel behind the rearview mirror. Often when mirrors are damaged, the door shell gets repaired and the mirror gets replaced, but often the window channel gets pinched there and nobody catches it until the window starts to work slow. usually these are obvious because the window slows down halfway up. Since yours is not even trying to raise, you probably need another regulator. It happens.
    All Grand Prix, all the time. 69 Model J, 99 GT & GTP coupes. All junk, haha.
