power window quit rolled down the windows in my ss and rolled them back up to find the drivers quit working and didnt budge when i push the button i here a clicking so i guess that mean the switch is working... im getting ready to check the fuses now but if its not a fuse is it the window motor? wasnt slow rolling down or anything it just wont roll back up now.

Dont buy use, by new. Go to advance auto and buy a new one for around 60 buck, use this coupon for $10 off, I did use it 4 week ago when I bought my window motor.

Well if it wasn't done before and they didn't chew the **** out of the holes you should be fine. Whoever replaced the window motor before I had the car fucked it up royally. Oh and those felt tips scratched the **** out of my tint too. So make sure ya got those.

ive had the drivers replaced 2x before this since i got the car in jan 05 the dealership replaced them each time... do you think i still have a warranty of some sort?
99.999 % chance your regulator is fine. Check the attachment of the motor to the regulator. Often replacement motors are bolted in, come loose, and disengage the regulator. 
When I replaced my driver's side motor, I also installed one of these kits: http://www.autotrix.net/Product-Pass...Fix-Kit_1.aspx
The kit is basically a wiring harness that separates the motor circuits. You WILL notice a difference, so I highly recommend it if you've replaced more than one window motor. It's cheap & easy insurance for your motors.

The problem with the windows on these cars is that both motors don't get the power they need, they way they're wired from the factory. If you typically roll both windows down at the same time, the motors will die sooner than normal.

The kit fixes the problem on BOTH sides. It splits the circuit, and each motor gets the right amount of power, so both motors will last longer. You'll be amazed at how fast your windows roll down after you install the kit. Check some of the videos on the site.
