2003 cadilac deville driver window off track. motor seems to work but window will not go up.

After setting for several months, I came back to multiple power window issues as follow: The driver's control left side buttons operate both the right and left windows front and rear. The driver's control right side buttons do not work at all. The rear buttons operate the rear windows as designed, but the front passenger button does not work at all. In addition I recently attempted to raise both front windows (via the driver's control front left button) and after both windows raising, the driver's side window fell back down and will no longer operate, but the front passenger window still works with that switch. I can hear the motor on the driver's side running when I depress that button.

The drivers switch on GM cars has the window control module built into it. This is more than likely your problem, it is very common for this.

You will have to take inner door panel off and check what moves or doesn't move when trying to use window. It could be off track, something broke or the cable for the window motor is bad. The only way to tell is to look once the panel is off.

Testimonial: "This helps, now I need to know how to remove the side panel."

hello there:
you may have to disassemble the door panel and check to see if the cable going to the actuator has come off if the cable is there and mounting looks OK you may need to replace the actuator its a simple procedure to do and it's just as expensive to replace the motor and actuator together at the same time the reason for this is to resolve future problems.... hope this helps thanks

2002 Cadillac deville. Window off track. Can I put it back on track or better to go to dealership?

It's not "off Track"

The window regulator broke. Just buy the regulator and not the whole power window assembly. It is a pain to do, but can be done by yourself.

2003 Deville window off track

Remove the door panel,to access the window regulator.
Most likely the regulator will be broken.
If you attempt to just put things back together,they will, as you say,jump off again. e.g. something is worn or broken,so look for that to be your problem

Drivers window wont go down 1997 cadillac deville

I, myself own a 1993 Cadillac Sedan Deville. It has over 150K miles on the odometer and has over time had a myriad of parts replaced, mostly by me. One day, for reasons unknown, the window in the driver's side door decided not to work. Like you, all other windows remained fully operable in both directions. While the switches can fail they are, as a rule, quite reliable for long periods of time. When trying, for some time, to get the window to operate, without success, I thought, let me think about this. Upon reflection, I decided that although switch failure is possible the odds of both sets of contacts, raise and lower, failing simultaneously are small.
The next possibility is that the window regulator which is what the manufacturer calls the mechanism, has developed a motor problem. These are DC motors and I don't know whether they have a wound field ar a permanent magnet field. Assuming a wound field it is possible that the last time the window moved under power the motor stopped with a brush either stuck or in contact with a "dead spot" on the commutator. Assuming the latter and with the window fully up I opened the door, pressed the switch to lower the window and while holding the switch in the down position I simultaneously slammed the door. Voila!!! The window went down and became fully operable once more. It has been operating as designed ever since; about 8 months now. Give it a try. Window regulator assemblies are dear and the motor is NOT available as a separate part. Good Luck!!

The driver side window will not go up or down, the motor runs, sounds like it is off the track.It is a 2003 Deville.

You will have to take inner door panel off and check what moves or doesn't move when trying to use window. It could be off track, something broke or the cable for the window motor is bad. The only way to tell is to look once the panel is off.
