power window motor removal and installation 99 camry

My drivers side power window is stuck all the way up. It makes no
sound. All other windows work fine. If I buy a combo window motor
regulator from the net- autozone parts man says they just sell motor
-how do I get the old one out?. I got the door panel off, but cannot
see the motor. If I remove all bolts/nuts I am afraid window will crash
down. Is there some technique to this since I cannot see connections.
How can plastic regulator piece be aligned / adjusted with window if
not visible. Doesn't it need to fit perfectly . I cannot afford dealer
prices. I left it open in the rain. Maybe that drowned the motor. ?
Anyone tackle this before. Thanks for advice

for $10 per day you can access on line versions of Toyota factory repair
manuals at [url]http://techinfo.toyota.com/[/url]

by the way, a more likely possibility is the combination switch in the door
panel. With the wiring diagram from the web site, you can check out the
switch before spending money on the motor and regulator.

Nonsense- Instead of shelling out 350 dollars I will just put some
current on the motor once I can access it to see it it is live.
Different if I was doing heavy duty stuff like rebuilding an engine.

If the motor works in both directions, then the next thing to diagnose is
the master switch in the driver's door. For that, you will need a wiring
diagram. In my experience, the switch is a more likely culprit than the
motor.
