My rear windows won't go up they keep falling down I wondering if this is a problem with the window motor or the regulator? And another thing my right rear window don't got power at all I already check the all the cables the go to the door and none if them show the have power is there a fuse I could check t
 


Windows falling tells me the regulator is shot.

Right rear window w/ no power is probably the drivers master switch. All power passes through that switch first IIRC, so if it's bad you won't get power to the individual window.
 
Sorry but what's IIRC?
So do you think I should replace the whole motor or just the regulator?
And for the master switch do I replace the while thing or just for that window?
 
If you can get just the regulator then do that. Most likely the motor is fine. Sometimes it's harder to find just the regulator separately. Check Rock Auto and Ebay.

Don't recall if the master switch is multiple components or not. Haven't had mine off in a while. Someone else here should know the answer to that one. I'm almost positive it's all one switch even though it has separate buttons for the windows.
 


Theirs an 05 at the junk yard with the motors and regulators doors are bend pretty bad but I think I could remove the regulators is there any special wey I have to remove them or just how they sit?
 
I don't know what year your car is, but I would assume 04+. You need to remove the door panel, then there are 3 10mm bolts that hold the motor to the door, and 4 that hold the regualtor in the door. There are also 2 bolts (one on each end) that hold the glass to the regulator. Then just wiggle the regulator/motor assembly out one of the access holes in the door and there you go. Oh, and disconnect the wire harness to the motor before you remove it.

If the door glass is all the way down then you won't be able to get to the bolts for the glass. I always do mine w/ the glass fully up w/ tape on it to keep it up as once the regualtor is removed the glass has nothing to support it and will drop quickly which could result in a nasty cut for you when your wrist or arm gets pinched under the glass and against the edge of the door frame. That area is sharp sp be carefull.
 
The cable looks to be part of the regulator itself, so once you have the entire assembly out in your hands you should see a few bolts that hold the motor the mounting plate. Just remove these and pull the motor straight out trying not the disturb the gear in the regulator. Then just swap in a new reg. and give it a go.

I've never had an 04+ in front of me so I'm just going off of memory and pics I've found so not 100% sure how or if the motor can be separated, but someone built it so it has to come off somehow.
