Hi everyone just thought i’d give closure to this thread and thank everyone for helping me out with their ideas. This is a pretty cool community. I ended up fixing the window today - yes 6 months later when i finally got back around to it. Turned out power was going to the motor - but the wire that runs along side the guide track for window had broke and was all jammed up in the motor and fried it - that’s why i couldn’t get the window back own. Thanks to a few comments in here I cut the cables - all the cables i could see and after some effort was able to rip the one out of the motor/guide track area - that let the window come down nice and easy - and was able to remove it from the clips from there. installed the replacement part with basically zero issues and put the door back on (having to re-watch the different youtube videos to see what i was even dealing with as i’d already forgotten). But heck, window now works like a charm, door opens and closes, locks… i’m surprised it all worked out honestly. thanks again for everyone’s help!

I would have repaired this for $400. I bought window regulators for my son’s Pontiac for $60 each, he replaced them himself, he is not a mechanic.
Suggest to click “solution” on Nevada’s post about cutting the wire above. Will be helpful for other’s with similar problem looking here. Good for you for fixing it yourself
