    How to know if your window lift motor regulator needs repair or replacement?

    The windows on all Cadillac makes, models, and years are one of the most actively used components on your vehicle. The most obvious indication that you need window lift motor service is a stuck, immovable window. The best way to test if the lift motor regulator is the culprit is to listen for the motor when pressing the window lift switch. If you cannot hear the switch engage the lift motor when it is pressed, it is most likely defective. Only GM certified technicians know how to correct the issue by checking the voltage of the Lift Motor Regulator with a voltmeter. The GM certified technicians at Cable Dahmer Cadillac of Kansas City know how to then test the resistance in the motor with an ohmmeter.

    Don’t Try This at Home

The service requires door panel removal, disconnecting wire harnesses, and in some cases removal of the entire regulator assembly to gain access to the window motor. Although you might consider watching a do-it-yourself video to try this at home, we strongly discourage against it. The best way to receive Window Lift Motor Regulator Repair & Replacement is to have it done by a GM certified technician at a reputable service center.
