My Jeep Grand Cherokee Windows Won't Work

If the windows on your Jeep Cherokee stop working correctly it is most likely a problem with either the window regulator itself or the regulator motor. To access the problem you will first need to gain access to the window regulator to see if it is merely a disconnected wire or if the regulator is damaged and requires replacement. You can pick up a replacement window regulator from your local auto store.

Things You'll Need

  • Screwdriver set
  • Wrench set
  • Window regulator
  • Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws from the inner door panel of your vehicle. Lift the door panel carefully away from the door. Unhook all of the wiring which is connected to the door panel with your hands.

  • Unscrew the mounting screws which are fixed to the stereo speakers on the door. Pull the speakers away from the door. Unhook the electrical connector on the back of the speaker and fully remove it from the door.

  • Disconnect the glass from the door by removing the bolts which connect the window to the window regulator. Place something solid underneath the window to stop it from falling down and breaking.

  • Check to make sure the electrical wire from the motor is connected to the regulator correctly. If it is connected then you need to disconnect it and replace the regulator. Remove the connector with your hand. Use a wrench to remove the mounting bolts and lift the regulator out of the vehicle.

  • Place a new window regulator in to the door and fix in place with the mounting bolts.Align the window with the window regulator and secure them both together with the bolts. Reconnect the electrical connector from the motor to the regulator. Reattach the door assembly by following the removal steps in reverse.
