Best video I've seen so far explaining how to bypass everything with only a 9 volt battery.
You made it simple. Thank you very much for your expertise. As I've seen a lot of other videos and I knew there had to be a better way.
Seek and ye shall find

Thank You for showing an old mechanic a new trick, my 2003 Olds van has an issue with the drivers window. My biggest thought was how it grounded, after watching your very easy to follow steps I can now continue with testing the motor Big Thanks

[theRealDigCity]

Thanks. I just needed to know how to force my window up using a battery directly. You showed me exactly where to put the terminals

[thetubeschannel]

I learned a bunch here ! thank you ! Have to diagnose a friends window. Could not have saved time without this - thank you

Just took off the door panel of one sliding door of my van. All I get is the click. Disappointed it might be the regulator, as I just had to put a new one in the driver’s door. BUT, now I know how to check the motor easily and can move forward. Thank you. Great video.

I have just liked and subscribed. Thank you! I wish all of my instructors were as clear as you are!

[byte-nibbler]

Well, you tested two good, working motors. What did you do about the tangled or broken cables?

[judyjohnson]

Great video! Sooo many other videos or articles just say "test the wires." But they don't show HOW to test the wires. Nice job, and thanks!

Love your content!! Doing repairs myself saving a fortune!!

Great video! If you can't run these tests, it's probably the motor. So buy a motor, or, just get the motor /regulator together. It usually doesn't cost that much more than just the motor.

Good vid. Presentation well done. Had no idea it could be tested on the vehicle as such. Thank you.

Used your video to test the front driver window motor in my mom’s Kia Sportage that wouldn’t go up. I connected the motor to one of my 20V tool batteries and diagnosed the problem was with the motor!! Ordered a new motor and we’re working!!

[percyfrank]

Thank you. Your explanation was very easy to undestand.

[jwlivingston]

thamk you, your info helped me resolve my questions, knowing the motor would spin reverse by changing the polarity

[DaveNanan]

Excellent video and very helpful! I'm getting that same click, but nothing happens on my driver's side window, when I press the down button on my 300! My regulator cable must be tangled! 👍

[olivetree]

Thank you for the useful information. I actually learned a few things from your video. Thanks again.

[franka]

Excellent - now I know where to start and how. Thank you for sharing.
