The power window on the passenger side of my coupe has stopped working. It has been sluggish for a long time but I thought that was due to friction between the window and door strips against the window. That behavior did not seem to get progressively worse; it seemed to hold constant for months, even years. But, when the complete failure occurred, it happened suddenly.
Is failure of the motor, or "regulator", the most likely cause of this problem? If so, then I believe I need DormanĀ® - Honda Accord 1988-1989 Dorman Window Regulators (http://www.carid.com/1988-honda-accord-electrical-parts/dorman-power-window-regulator-16086739.html) (or another brand of the same product) which is the whole regulator assembly, not just the motor. I don't know whether the motor alone can be replaced, so buying a regulator kit seems to be the solution, assuming the old one is the reason for the failure.
