it's probably the window regulator that needs replacing. i would recommend not trying to use the motor till u get it checked out otherwise you could blow the new one. if you hear the buzzing.. it's probably the motor trying to get the window down but the regulator is preventing it from doing so.

also, regardless of whether u did the reset or not, it should still roll up or down. the reset is just for making sure it does the little drop when opening/closing the door...and so it doesn't open half way down when you do the automatic close.

incase you're not sure what the regulator looks like, it's this piece:


if you wana test it yourself, disconnect the motor from everything except for the power source and use the switch to see if the bolt spins clockwise/counterclockwise. if it does, you need a new regulator!

good luck

Hello,
I know this is an old message I'm looking at, but I have the same exact problem, and have done the same things you did. I was wondering what you finally did to fix the problem.

Thanks,
Dave
