Actually, I'm not replying to this post but, since there were no answers, I'd like to ask the same question again. (I found the post while searching for an answer for the same problem.) I haven't taken off my door panel but having removed the switches, and listening through the hole, I can hear the clicking. 96 Lumina.

Thanks

It is probably the relay that can allow the drivers door window to go down after releasing the switch. That relay is mounted near the front of the door, while the motor itself (which can also make a clicking noise) it is at the center of the door.

I had the same issue with my '02 Aurora's passenger window. Bought the replacement motor (special order at Autozone, around $75) ... took the panel off ... disconnected the old motor from the door. Before putting the new one in, I checked the old motor while off the door and IT WORKED! I reassembled everything with the same old parts and the window is fine. From that, I can only assume I hit a dead spot in the motor or somehow the motor bound up enough to stop functioning.

I had previously tried the "slam the door" trick and "beat it with a hammer" but these didn't work. My recommendation is to unbolt the motor from the door and check it while disconnected from the door assembly. (Just plug it back in to the connector and hit your window switch to test). You'll know if the motor works then. The clicking you hear is the regulator working ... it's sending power to the motor but obviously the motor isn't moving.

Thanks. I've been planning of trying to fix it for months....lazy. I've looked at the door panel and am afraid I'll tear it up trying to take it off. I only see a few screws and they don't look like enough to be holding in on. Anybody know how to take it off without destroying it?

Here's how:
