should also look into the autotrix mod or build your own autotrix mod since its pretty much 2 relays and some wires.

Um when GM designed the stoopid window motor setup on these cars they take power for the passenger window off the drivers side which is why these motors burn out so much. So basically the autotrix kit makes your passenger window get its own power off the battery instead of the drivers side.

gees guys it takes like 20 minutes to do. ive done like 6-7 members window motors not including the many i have done myself. get an autozone one so if it goes out again its covered under warranty and you can get another one.

You should be able to do it with little to no problems. I did mine like 6 months ago for the first time and it went pretty smooth. Just take your time with the door panel when taking it off. goodluck!
