OK, the old motor came out fine (with one exception - see below) , banged it on the floor a couple of times and it started working again. Put it back in, mounted everything back up, window rolled up fine, but it will not roll down? I was late so I stopped, not sure what to do next. Also have the dreaded "unidentified spare part"?

I hope this helps somebody. In trying to isolate my right side power window problem, I had swapped out the switches, it still didn't work so I set out to replace the motor. In the end both the right and left switches were shot; nothing wrong with the motor at all. When I was trying to diagnose the problem I was swapping them one at a time. Anyway ... all seems fine now.
