Yes, they are the same lift motor.You can call the parts store and have them look up both cars....they will come back as the same part number.
You probably missed the contact on the switch in the door panel. Check it out by using a 12 V power cable to turn the motor both directions. If that doesn't work you probably need a new motor for that window.
More than likely a burnt out window motor in that door.
No it is the window motor. I had to replace 2 of mine in a 97 Cabalier.
You are going to have 2 things to repair with this problem. The window switch and the window motor. The weak motor has melted the inside of the switch. Yep...been there,done that.Replacing the motor wont fix the switch and if you replace the switch the weak motor will melt the new switch.
i believe you take off the inner door panel and manually raise the window or remove to get to the motor and replace it with a new one duct tape a garbage bag over the hole where the window was. nice and breezy.
You buy a new motor for the window or open it using the switch beside the driver door (if it is a relitively new car).
Most likely the window motor is failing. Hit the center of the door liner with your fist while pushing the switch to raise the window. This will only work a few times. Replace the motor.
if the door panel is on hitting the door at the bottom may help or if panel is off hitting the motor with something may make it work
its jammed you have to take off the whole door panel and window motor to get it back up then it will work fine again.
It's the switch because the motor is getting power to go up but not down.
if the motor is out then you have to remove door panel and take the window motor out usually by drilling or grinding 3 rivets off then pull motor out of way and pull ur window up if you get someone to hold it or something then you can replace motor or stick bad one back in there and get a couple small bolts to hold it in place the motor wont work but it will hold ur window up until you can replace the bad window motor
I would suspect the switch first. The next time it fails remove the door panel, unplugg the electrical connection at the window motor and probe the plug with a test lamp to see if the motor is receiving power when you work the switch.
