Yet another "How-To" I thought I'd create for the masses of people like myself that have had the similar problem of either one or both of your windows acting funny, getting stuck, won't roll up, or won't roll down.
This is a How-To on how to clean your OEM window motor. The window motor I had to clean was on the passenger side. I don't know exactly how long this cleaning will last, but I can tell you it works. I'm creating this thread for the members like myself who want to give it a shot and see if it works before biting the bullet and dishing out $160 or so on a new motor. Either way, if you decide to just replace the motor, this tutorial will lead you in the right direction.
EDIT: A couple months after I cleaned the original motor, it failed again. I replaced it entirely with one of the refurbished motors listed below. It's 10-1-2009 now and it's still working like a champ. So do yourself a favor and replace it entirely. The cleaning appears to be a temp fix.
EDIT: I had time today to locate the replacement motors for each side at the 2 most common auto parts dealers. This is for the individuals who wish to buy a new motor.
