Thread: Power window regulator 2003 Grand Prix

Can anyone tell me if the regulator can be repaired? The motor works in both directions but does not move the window. Do these have a rack and pinion to raise / lower the glass? The parts are not that expensive but I don't want to buy one if it can be repaired instead.

Thanks

The motor runs a pulley and the pulley raises and lowers the window with a stainles steel cable.

Take it apart - maybe the cable popped our of its place.

You most likely have a snapped cable on the regulator. And no, you can't fix it. Just get a replacement regulator assembly and call it a day. I actually rewound one of my old ones once when I was in a pinch and it took about 4 hours to get it properly in the regualtor housing and working again. Truly not worth the time vs. a $50 replacement, other than the fact that I can say I've done it, lol...
