Default So my DRIVER's side window motor went out...

My pass window motor died once so I replaced it, been workin fine for 6 months now. Now my driver's side motor died completely. Will the autotrix kit work on the driver's side too? I'm thinking of getting two kits one for each window motor.

I dont think it would matter for the driver side since its already getting power from the battery/fuses instead of pulling it through another motor like the passenger side does. Correct me if im wrong.

This happens a lot with reman motors. If you get a new Dorman design motor, you shouldn't have this problem.

The kit just makes a bad motor look better. It doesn't actually "fix" anything or cure the faulty components in the motor. For the cost of a kit, you can get several brand new motors.
