Front right power window now wont roll up/down. But when I press on the switch either from the driver side or the front right it does "click" but doesn't do anything else.

Bad motor or perhaps something lose? Checked the fuse but then again if it was a bad one none of the other windows would function.

Any ideas?

it may be a bad motor, but pull it out first and see if you got corrosion on it mine did the same and it was corrosion so try that and see what happens

Similar thing happened to my driver side door. Turned out the cable was frayed and wouldn't roll back in. I replaced the motor/ regulator assembly. I got a dorman for less than $50 shipped on ebay. Used a youtube video for reference and was finished in about an hour.

yeah just clean it and hopefully it will work

It was the motor afterall. Local auto parts had it for $35 so picked it up and installed it myself with the help of my brother and walla works again. Local shop wanted $125 + parts lol. They can kiss it

I had my passenger one done last year by the dealer (while on a road trip)
but I plan on doing my drivers one myself to save some cash.
(it died this morning on my way to work)

I got the first one, under $50. But you might want to search for your year as I'm not sure if 2000-2006 is all the same.

And here's the video I used. It's very similar to out trucks.
