Before changing a Buick Century window regulator, at all times verify to see if the window motor or the regulator is the problem. Flip the ignition key on and listen for the window motor. If the motor may be heard whenever you move the swap and the window does not transfer, the regulator is unquestionably bad. If the motor does not work then the motor is the problem. Depending on the model 12 months, the motor comes with the window regulator assembly. Verify to make sure the other windows work to verify the problem is isolated to that door. Verify the change to ensure the motor is getting power.
