Ok..here's the deal....an '02 2.7 Santa Fe with a drivers window that wouldn't move. Pushing the open button caused a click that sounded like the motor was grunting.
I finally did get the panel off and ran 12v right to the motor.....it grunted but no movement.
I pulled the motor/regulator off the door and lifted the motor off the regulator...everything looked ok. I put the motor back on the regulator and applied 12v directly to the motor/regulator off the door. It turned fine and reversed fine. Deep sigh....I loosened the plate that the regulator is bolted to and reseated it. I manually raised and lowered the window and it seemed free. Then I put the motor/regulator back on and now everything works great. I don't know how long it will last or what caused it. Any experience with this from anyone?
