That was the case on my 1994 Saturn SL1
Remove the window regulator and motor from the door as an assembly. Drill out rivets that hold motor to regulator and replace motor. Regulator needs to be riveted back into door for reassembly
Window motor and regulator are found inside of the door panel and may be bolted or riveted in. Should be bolted. Disconnect the window from regulator, take out reg. and motor, then disconnect regulator from motor, reconnect new motor to regulator, reattach those inside of the door, then reconnect the window to the regulator, put it together and see if it works.
Is it bolted or riveted . Drill out the rivets and use bolt on the new motor.
check your fuses, if not, replace the window motor located in the door.
you need to take off the inner and outer door panels. the motor is secured by rivets, you need to drill them out
YOU MUST REMOVE ALL DOOR TRIM INSIDE. THE TRACK IS MOST LIKELY RIVETED IN, SO YOU MUST DRILL RIVETS OUT AND DISASMBLE TRACK BEING VERY CAREFUL.AFTER EVERTHING IS LOOSENED THE YOU CAN REMOVE MOTOR AND GEAR.
The outer and inner door panels on the door must come off. FRom there you have access to the rivets holding the motor to the door. Break the rivets and replace with the new motor. The new motor should come with bolts if from the dealer.
Hi .. To change the power window motor .. Remove the door shell of course You will see the motor for the window .. Unplug the power of course . The motor is actually riveted in so you need to drill out the rivets. Remove the old unit . Then install the new motor with self tapping screws . Plug in the power . Be sure to secure the window when you remove the motor so it doesn't fall. I have not done this yet but am about to embark soon and have done some research . Good luck ..

It's not the easiest thing to do. After removing the door panel which is a quite a task itself, the old window motor and regulator are riveted to the door frame by four or five rivets. They have to be drilled out, then the regulator and motor can be moved out of the door. There are then four more rivets that hold the motor to the regulator which also have to be drilled out. Once you get the window motor off the regulator you can attach the new motor to the regulator with 1/4 inch bolts and nuts. Then the regulator gets reinstalled and fastened to the door frame also with 1/4 inch bolts and nuts. You can then reassemble the interior door panel and enjoy your working electric window. This whole process took me about 6 hours, including running to the hardware store for the nuts and bolts.
Disconnect the battery, Remove the door panel, vapor barrier plastic, power window connections, and I would remove the entire regulator assembly with motor attached. It helps to have someone hold the window as it drops inside of the door. Some motors are riveted to the regulator at the factory, so if it is I would obtain a good used assembly at a salvage yard. I have done these in a couple hours. Looks harder then it is.
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra window lift motor is located inside of the door. Each window is equipped with a window lift motor.
