On a high-mileage Hyundai, consider replacing the window motor with the regulator. In the aftermarket parts market, you will find that the window motor and regulator are often sold as one unit.

Common Symptoms

• The power window is not working.
• There is unusual noise when operating the window.
• The window gets stuck when opening or closing.

Procedure

1. Disconnect Negative Battery Terminal.  Always disconnect the battery when working with electrical components on your Hyundai.
2. Remove the door panel. Next, remove the door trim panel. Both front and rear doors (driver or passenger) have some screws that need to be replaced.
3. Once the screws are removed, the panel can be removed from the door. Remove and Install a New window motor.  Start by disconnecting the connector from the window motor. The regular window motor is held in place with three bolts. This may be a good time to confirm the defective window motor.
4. Reinstall the window regulator. Connect all the electrical connectors. Connect the door handle release. Before you put the panel back, test the window motor operation.
5. Line up all the white plastic retainers in the door panel with the hones in the door. If any of the plastic retainers break during removal, replace them. You can find replacement retainers at your local auto parts store. Once all the wires have been connected, pins are lined up, and the door panel is in. Install screws to secure the door panel.

Replacing the window regulator is relatively easy. This job requires patience and proceeded with care. Before you decide to replace the window regulator or motor, ensure the window switch is working properly and the fuse for the windows is not blown.
