My dirver side window will not roll down. It worked a week ago but now it is not. I hear the relay buzzing under the dash and have checked it, removed it and reinstalled. The windows motor has been replaced. Any ideas?

Sounds like the regulator. or possibly a connection. do you feel the window try and move but it just wont?

The regulators suck on these cars.

regulators do suck if installed incorrectly, but start at the 1st simple part. the switch. I had switches go (at least 3x) and helped others diag the same problem. especially if you've already replaced the motor/regulator. switches are easy to find cheap.

not always the last time I replaced one it was clicking at the relay, replaced the switch and it went away. $25 and 5min fix give it a try. otherwise motor crapped out again. they go quick if you buy the cheapo's, but if he's already replaced the motor and regulator then my suggestion would be switch.

try taking the switch out and cleaning the plug(prongs)....if they get dirty it can cause it to stop working but u can still hear the relay. i got paint on mine and it did that..i cleaned it and it was fine.

if the switch is cicking the relay over and the window isnt moving it isnt the switch. There is a difference between a relay actually clicking over and a low voltage from the swithc making the relay try and move. It might make a sound but there is a clear difference. 90% chance its the regulator. If the switch is bad but somehow making the relay click try pushing the switch harder or wiggling it as it may not be making total contact but its probably the regulator. To just stop working like that. The switch would have given you warning signs it was going.
