'98 VDP driver shot side window motor replacement
Hi, my drivers window won't go down so I think it's the window motor. All other windows working fine. I've got the replacement motor but when I took the door card off I was surprised that I could see no motor or regulator, the inner door skin covers everything. Not sure where to begin, I can't even see where that inner door skin might attach. I removed the water shield, it was well glued everywhere. Only ripped it in one small area. Should I just back off this and take it somewhere? Video on YouTube made it look so easy but they were for xj8's and xjr's. Is a Canadian VDP different?

okay so i did a hard reset about a month ago and it really didn;t seem to do anything other than cause a stutter on idle for a bit but that went away. I spoke with an independent jag mechanic here in Toronto and he said it was probably the window motor so I ordered it.
but on your advice I just did a hard reset now and it worked....sort of.
the driver's window does go up and down but the button has changed. it now operates from the rear passenger button only on the driver's arm rest. all other windows do not operate from any of the other buttons. the front passenger window goes up and down from pushing the button located on that door handle but that's it.
and it thinks the driver's door is open when its closed. when I open the driver's door, it tells me both the driver's door and passenger door are open.
I used my code reader to clear codes but it didn;t do anything. is it just a matter of driving it so it can relearn?
