My girlfriend drove my car to work this morning... called me when she got there and told me the window wouldn't go up. I went and got the car and it was only 1/3 of the way up. I got it home, took the panel off and looked in... didn't see anything blocking it, but it would not go up or down.

I greased it a little and kept playing with the switch. I can hear a the motor/regulator/relay, something clicking once and a while when I use the switch. I felt the motor and it was warm, I'm guessing from where it is trying to move.

I started pulling up and pushing down on the window and then using the switch... over and over and finally it went up some and down a little and back up... I was trying to see if there was a bad spot... now it's F*cking stuck again and I can't get the motor to start even after pushing and pulling.

I have tried slamming the door, the switch is getting power to the motor, the motor did seem to work fine for a minute and there has been no problems with it in the past...

Any Suggestions.

only read half of it..

but your regulator is shot.

its what the motor moves.

hit up optmusprimer, see if he can help you order one.

^what baonest said.

Just about any of the parts stores can get you one now. There must be at least three, maybe four, aftermarket companies making window regulators now.

It's usually the plastic clip on the cable that breaks...though I have seen Toyota Camry regulators break the cable and/or have the spool fly apart.

Typical problem on Accords. Replaced mine on my 97 Accord. Get an original honda part online somewhere. If youre handy you might be able to do it, but it's a bitch of a job.

if you know what you're doing it takes all of about half an hour

its not too difficult.. just recently replaced one on my girl's 97 accord...

regulator was ~$100 and it took maybe an hour.

the locks on 94-97 accords should be failing right about now.

window regulators also.
