The regulator has most likely died and has to be replaced. its an easy job, just remove the door trim and punch out the rivets that hold the regulator and motor. im not sure how much a replacement regulator will cost - google is your friend.

However, make sure the contacts on the switch are clean, give the switch a couple of hard taps - most times this may work before replacing the regulator.

Good luck

Sounds like the switches (both driver's and LR) need to be pulled apart and cleaned.

Reg will normally be heard working but nothing happens, this is the symptom of a stuffed reg.

Try fixing the motor first - I pulled the motor apart on mine (SZ Territory) and it was all black on the commutator (?). I cleaned it and it works now intermittently.

But if it is the motor, they should be generic so any AU will do.
