    strange regulator problem

    so after my old regulator had mangled up wires, I replaced it with a new genuine one a few months ago. All was good until recently it was stuck in the closed position and wouldnt budge. The weird thing is it seems like its constantly trying to move because you can hear the motor every 15 seconds, even while the car if off and the key is out.. I unplugged the motor for now because it started to get very hot.

    Also, just in case this means anything, before it got stuck the window wouldn't work when the door was open fully, but would when it was closed or slightly open... the same switch however works fine for the opposite window.. I had a look at the wires in the door since I thought maybe when the door is opened it would disconnect something there but it seemed fine, not that I could really know how to troubleshoot it.

    But what would cause the motor to be working constantly, even with the key out?

    need to fix this asap as I'm unable to use drive through's anymore

    Possibly interior light related. Pull the fuse for that, and see what happens.

    Pulled it out, no fix

    Window will open with they key trick, switch will work for passenger side but not drivers side

    Also just to be clear, the window would open with door closed BEFORE, now it won't budge and motor isn't making any noises, switch still lights up though and works for passenger side
