Hmmm. That sucks, dude. The window in my '91 4-cylinder LX is stuck too, only it's in the up position. I just don't feel like fooling with it. At first when it started doing this, I had to do like mustangII460 said and beat on the door and then most of the time it would go up. Then one day it just wouldn't come down. I need to fix it b4 I sell the car so I'd like to hear the answer to this question. I'm thinking it's the motor b/c I already removed the panel and checked the wires and they seemed fine.

Does it sound stupid to try to run a direct line from the battery to the motor to see if it's the motor? Should be okay since that motor is made for 12-volt power, right? It would then bypass any switch. If it worked, it'd mean that the switches or wiring was the problem. If still didn't work, then that'd indicate a bad motor. Does this seem doable?
