How would you go about removing a window motor in a 1996 Ford Contour if the window is stuck down?

This happened to my daughter's car a few weeks ago. Ford sells new window regulators complete with the motor only - you cannot buy only the regulator portion. I found a good price from a dealer on the web - about $50 cheaper than my local Ford dealer. I am going to assume you already have the interior door panels, etc. removed. Unbolt the window motor and get it as close as possible to the opening in the door frame near the lower front of the door. Cut the two window regulator encased cables exiting the motor with heavy duty cutters or metal shears. If you have trouble cutting these cables, attempt to unbolt the motor from the regulator gear assembly. Inside you will find two gears and probably a very messed-up cable. Cut these cables. This will free the motor and gear assy. which can be removed after disconnecting the electrical connector. At this point, the window glass should also be free enough to slide up in the track to be unbolted from it's carrier. Once the glass is detached from the carrier, you should be able to lift & tilt it out of the top of the door. Continue with new window regulator replacement as usual. If you need additional help w/photos, I would recommend ChiltonsDIY.com for $20/year subscription.

Perhaps a stuck door in the HVAC system or a blockage in the ducts.

First take the door panel off and inspect the wires, the window track, and motor. My tempo has a stuck window as well. My window track is really rusty, and I think could be the issue.

On my 1999 Chevy cavalier the front electric passenger window opens and closes sometimes but seems stuck. What is causing this?
It is either the window motor or the window switch. That shoud be determined before replacing the window motor, but a weak motor will melt a window switch and it MAY be both. It could also be in need of some white grease on the regulator track inside the door but I doubt that.

If your driver's side window goes down halfway and gets stuck in a 1999 Chevy Suburban, the motor could be failing. It could also indicate the window is off the track.
How do you fix driver side window on a 93 infinity g20?
I own a 93 g-20 and sometimes my passenger side window will not close, the only times that it will not go up if it is cold outside and I roll it completely down, the motor for the window is located inside the door panel, if the motor is bad then you remove the door panel to access the motor, remove the bolts holding the motor and install a new one, it may just be stuck, if it is stuck in the down position, have someone pull up on the window while you operate the door window switch and see if it will now go up by pulling up on it

What if your window in lsc wont go up or down and car have been sitting up a year now can it be just a fuse or window motor needs to be replaces?
Best quess is that your window motor is stuck. Sometimes if you pound on the door panel with your fist while pushing on the window switch it can become unstuck. Then you will know it is the window motor. Sometimes they are too siezed up to move at all, so this might work and it might not. We call it a tap test in the business.
How do i get driver side window up if its stuck?
You need to take off your door panel and install a new motor. its hard for you to pull up the window manually because the motors do not have any slack in them and they will hold the window in the position it is in. A short term repair would be to take off the door panel and unbolt your glass from the backet connected to the window motor. then you can wedge the window closed or find a way to hold it up until you can buy a new motor.
What is wrong if a 1999 Malibu driver's side window will not go down when the motor and switch are ok?
Well if everything else is working, then the window itself maybe stuck. That maybe the only that could be wrong with it.
