How to replace install power window regulator GMC Yukon XL 2000

[@marcydk]

Perfect How To video. I am a middle aged women with zero knowledge of cars and and easily fixed my son's yukon. I watched each step as I did it. Every step perfectly clear. You're my hero.

[@juanhervada9097]

The front passenger window on my 2002 Yukon stopped working...I did some research and found what the replacement part would be...ordered it from Amazon for $32 shipped. When it got here I thought I was in over my head and even after watching a couple other video's I was going to take it to the shop and have them do it. Then I found your video and after watching it a couple of times I figured I'd give it a shot. Well your instructions and video were so clear and simple that I had NO problems what so ever and about 45 minutes later I was done and the window was working perfectly!! Local shop wanted $252 total to repair...you saved me $225....thanks dude!!!!

[@harrellharden8663]

I want to take the time and express how I appreciated not only the video, the format and the way you explained the procedure, best by far. I certainly will preference yours from now on when info is needed, A+ sir (no doubt).

[@danielmorales9138]

It's 2019, and this video is 1000% accurate. I followed this step by step and it took me about an hour. At no point was I confused or unsure about anything that was happening. Thank you for this video!!!

[@wallyspradley9349]

I was going to list my problems installing regulator. But, after following the video, I had no problems, the step by step was right on! Thanks for your time in preparing these instructions.

[@jackleon5876]

Great video, this video saved me about $200.00. I would have not been able to replace power window regulator unit without viewing this video first. I watched it 5 times, my wife enjoyed watching also. THANK you for making this video, keep up the good work.

[@simonuribe]

This video is amazing! Thank you so much for this no frizz video with all the information needed. It’s saved me a couple of hundred dollars by not having to take my truck to the shop and I was to fix my windows!!

[@andrewwilford9574]

Thank you for this video showing step by step instructions! I just bought a replacement motor/regulator from Auto Zone for about $100. I followed your video and got my driver's side window working again in my 2003 Yukon XL. Saved me a bunch of money and I learned something new. Thanks so much!

[@carlball1]

Thanks mcormic97 for taking the time to make this video, it was very helpful. I did an '01 Denali and it was identical minus the speaker. For anyone about to do this, it is easier than it looks. You DO NOT have to temporarily reconnect the power mirror switch to raise the new regulator to the glass. That plug is the most difficult part. Don't forget to loosen the glass clamp screws before raising them onto the glass. I found it easier to slip the seat heater switch out through the panel.

[@hunterdad66]

mcormic97- I gotta tell you man. That IS the best how to video I have seen. I watched your video and had my new motor in and working within a 1/2 hour! Great video! Thank you very much!

[@TheModernmessenger]

Excellent video.. Cuts out common sense steps & speeds right to the nitty-gritty. Knocked out drivers & passenger sides in 30 mins each.. Thanks for the video!

[@nnudy34]

Just want to say thanks. I rarely comment but this video was a big help. I've replaced at least a hand full of window regulators in my life and I always broke clips and got frustrated with the process. Your video made it quick and nothing broke!

[@kencalder9788]

I concur with Harrell. Thank you very much for your expertise and formatting. Fitted the new part like nothing. Thanks again

[@nomiclas]

I build and install power window kits for classic/muscle cars.I've done it for 40 years.these little tips make it easy to do.very nice job on the procedure and the logistics.you should consider a job in commercial vids.

[@douglasarnold7185]

Explanation was excellent. Lighting was great. I like that you fast forward through loosening screws/bolts. I am now confident about doing this job.

[@mattyPBS]

Thanks for this - you just saved me $300 in labor that my local mechanic quoted me!

[@mcormic97]

Thanks for all of the great comments. I'm no pro, but I'm glad that this tutorial helped you guys. I will try to do some other videos when the opportunities arise. Thanks again!

[@joedyck5700]

Excellent instructional video on the window regulator repair. I am subscribing as you have a talent for this!

[@ewasankari]

GREAT step by step. Worked flawlessly. Wish you had made the video for "How to break into a GMC Yukon when you lock the keys inside" which is what I did upon completion....You didn't tell me not to do that. ; ) I actually did find a video for that and was able to get in. Go KZbin!

[@88mdgrad]

Thanks for the instruction. Just replaced the passenger side regulator in a 2001 Yukon XL in less than one hour at a cost of $79. Kudos!!

[@danielmorales9138]

Sir, you are my rock. This video is my gold standard when replacing the regulator for my Yukon Xl.

[@majobismusic]

I just finished this job yesterday. I credit your video for my success; thank you!

[@mikeljnola]

Thanks for this video. Great, to-the-point help. Same procedure (and probably part) as my 2003 GMC Yukon.

[@n5yiz]

I just swapped my passenger side motors out after following this guide. Only took about 30 mins....thanks for the vid!

[@chenangogymnastics174]

Did it 6 years ago and this acted as a great refresher. Replacing one tonight

[@shawnpillsbury9559]

Well done! Thanks for posting this video. This was the best video I found on replacing a window regulator!

[@gtrade1]

This worked perfectly! I had some problems getting door panel back on and unhooking power window controls. Eventually I got it back together and works great. Thank you!!

[@cryspay]

I used your excellent video tutorial to replace my Chevy Tahoe drivers side window regulator...everything went smooth as silk! Thanks!

[@cmenardmfd5569]

This video saved me time and money! Thank you for posting this. Its amazing that a 2000 GMC Yukon and 2003 Chevy Suburban have the exact same door.

[@genesmith4022]

Thanks, I watched your video 4 times then did the job in 15 minutes.

[@men1825]

Thank you sooo much. Awesome video and description on removal of door panel and regulator/motor. I just finished replacing mine, your video helped so much. Thank you

[@brandonmurphy5837]

Perfect video man thanks people like your self save me alot of money im young and just trying to get by I do everything my self long as I can understand it simple thanks again

[@toddkirichkow]

Kick ass man!! Just did my window using your video in about 45 minutes.

[@johnwahlers3363]

I too think this is very well explained. Thank you for not having crazy music. Good microphone. Thank you for your video.

[@doverpoint1]

Very detailed. It's easier than identifying tornado sirens!

[@chrisl8355]

Just saved me $100 the local mechanic wanted to charge me. Those save $100 can now for groceries/gas/bills. Thanks! ,🍻👍👍

[@billnicoski7158]

Best instructional Video I have ever seen on KZbin. Thank you very much!

[@BraapZ]

Great video, well done, perfect pace and all pertinent details covered, HUGE help, thank you.

[@toddurban1261]

One of the best DIY videos I've seen. Very helpful!

[@tombrainerd3889]

Thanks so much. less than an hour and a half from leaving to pick up the parts to drive-away.

[@scottybrucescott2155]

Super job. Getting ready to do our 2003 Yucon. Passenger back door. I hope it is as easy as it looks. Thanks

[@brettbrunswig289]

just finished my 01 yukon using rouy video.. THANK YOU THANK YOU. went so smooth.

[@johnnyappleseedz422]

Simple and to the point. But I guess 59 people cannot follow simple instructions.

[@manologonzalez903]

Pretty great video i already install my new motor and regulator but i found your video this morning when i was installin motor i was watching other videos and those dosent help at all but yours is great i give u 100.....i pay fpr both side $68 on amazon and they work perfectly but just the motors of the power window the regulator is apart

[@ericsmith2147]

Thank you so much......just finish my 03 Chevy tahoe........Now that a 5 Star video........Great Job!!!!!

[@wasthereonce]

Great job, very detailed and to the point. Clear instructions. Very easy to follow.

[@corpuswow]

Great, I learned a thing here and there. I need to replace my driver's side rear window regulator. Thanks!

[@mpab2513]

Thank you for doing such a great video, well done audio, and pointing out all important points on R&R. I beleieve this is the best i have seen on you tube

[@swoleonz]

it all make so much sense now. Great vid!

[@baldpecker66]

Gotta give you many thanks! Just did this after wtching your vid. Took me about 20 minutes!!!!

[@moosemoon3707]

Absolutely AWESOME! Thank you so much. So easy to follow and a great sense of accomplishment. Autozone should pay you! That;s where I got my part 'cause that's what you did. It really was easy -- 'just take your time and follow all the steps'

[@Micky123383]

Great video. One problem I had was the panic alarm sounding every time I connected the 3 wire harnesses in the arm rest. Seems to be OK after finishing and starting engine and working the door switches a few times.

[@J.D.Vision]

Thank you sooo much! Just fixed it. Now I have to do the rear passanger

[@dlemma74]

great job man! 100% success following your directions.

[@122dpaoc2]

Perfect! My '99 GMC Sierra and I thank you!

[@Tewrobert49]

Had to come back and give you a big thank you..........I got er done :) Actually looking into converting my 91 s10 to electric windows :)

[@pleasesmitz281]

Best tutorial on KZbin!

[@EthanShaw525]

[@latinpaver]

[@mriswith23]

Thanks so much for this! Huge help. Got it done quickly.

[@philipgiffin6254]

Appreciate the succinct easy to follow vid!

[@beowulfshaeffer8444]

Thank you. Very helpful with my repair.

[@james747300]

Thanks, just saved me a manual.

[@doreenjsimmons8013]

Thank you!! Easy to follow video i have seen.

[@JMDM53]

Give me an address and I'll prepay a six pack of beer or a bottle of wine for you at the store of your choice. You just saved me $300. Thanks

[@kenkeeling2848]

Would have helped to know what size tools yo were using to make sure I had everything before I started...

[@johnnyappleseedz422]

He used three tools. Four if you include the tape to hold up his window. A flat blade screwdriver, and a ratchet with two sizes. If you need him to get that deep into the weeds, take it to a dealer. His video is the best "How To" I've come across. Simple. To the point. And you are complaining he didn't save you 6 seconds of your life by reaching into your toolbox and grabbing the right socket. If that is your biggest complaint, life is good.

[@reggiesavrnoch7925]

Thank you... your video is very helpful

[@obhockey883]

Great video! Thanks so much saved me alot of $.

[@jimrowland4092]

Thanks. Good video. Helped alot.

[@andremcdaniel368]

on point with everything...awesome vid...thx

[@MIKEDAMIEN3]

Great video, I have 03 Denali and have a problem with the controls on the armrest. Sometimes the drive side window does not open or close and when I open the door the whole armrest panel goes dead. I notice when I move around the wires between the door hinges the armrest lights up. Can you give me any advice as to what this might be?

[@latoyamckenzie43]

you were really really helpful

[@gingerhaley4815]

Thank you so much the video,itwas great, you have saved me a lot of money i did not need to spend. : )

[@smokiebaer]

Great video. .. 15 minutes a side. Thanks

[@Schleggo]

Awesome! Just did, mine thank you!

[@LimogesDiver]

very well done: thanks!

[@texasboysuge6086]

Thanks brother!!! Awesome!!!💪💪💪👍👍👍

[@mogem1980]

Caution: Watch several "How To's" before attempting the job as then you might actually get all the details. Made everything look so easy and it could have been. The control doesn't just pop off, there is a screw holding the front side underneath.

[@Tickbryan]

what year model is your vehicle?

[@n5yiz]

Excellent video!

[@JMDM53]

Do you have a video about how to check for an AC leak? I recharged the system and it worked for about a month. I must have a slow leak.

[@NasimAkhtar-uy6lb]

at 2:17 time,I heard loosen the two window bolts holds the regulator, but do not remove them. Ironically they are removed as I see the video. No sure what it meant. It got confusing!

[@norbertzimpfer7548]

Great video but socket sizes would have been helpful

[@scottkeller5805]

Good Video, How do you get the window up if it is stuck in the down position, if the motor is not operating, so you can replace the parts Thanks,

[@mcormic97]

Once you get the door panel off you should be able to lift/push the window to a position that will allow you to do the install. it doesn’t necessarily have to be all the way up i guess, just as long as it’s secured and not falling down while trying to do it. Thanks!

[@gfunkkowboy]

Good job brother

[@700horses]

Is it better to glue the weather seal black on using weatherproof adhesive silicone?

[@mcormic97]

700horses I didn’t have to do that with mine, but that sounds like a good idea. Thanks for watching!

[@TinyandReba]

Good job!

[@davidperrone2992]

Thank you

[@grantcerulo1988]

helpful video

[@josbone24]

Thanks!

[@happytimes724]

thanks bro

[@IdontNeedHandles]

Good video, thanks a lot

[@Infanitunit1]

What size are. The bolts

[@blondnextdoor]

can't find my 'other bolt' in the control panel on my Yukon 03

[@daishakantola2886]

Is there any tips if my window is stuck rolled all the way down when it broke? It will NOT come back up.

[@mcormic97]

You would probably have to take the door panel off and then you might be able to get it to lift up, then you could wedge it in place temporarily or use tape or something. until you can get it replaced.

[@markbeard2222]

Everybody has front door videos, nobody has rear door videos. It is way different!

[@jdm_jadon]

Can u do 2002 tahoe please

[@larryleisuresuit9584]

hey man, you just said " I got mine from Auto Zone , it was about 100.00 but it has a life time warranty so they should refund me" what did you mean by that? did you take the broken one in and get your money back? i will be able to fix my door if that is the deal. it looks like you don't respond to this video, might be because of the age, i hope you can let me know, i don't know whats wrong with mine yet. I mean, its up and it wont come down, I bought a new switch but that is not the problem. seems to be all locked up, i pulled the wire harness clip off the motor and tested it with the switch and i get 14 + and 14 - up and down but hat motor is not budging that window, I don't even feel or hear a peep when I hit the switch, I do see the lights dim though and I can hear a tiny click inside the switch. mines a 2001 but exactly like this, even the same colors

[@mcormic97]

Larry Leisuresuit what i meant there is that they should refund me if the “new” one ever goes bad. sorry, should have been more clear there. i’m no pro, but from your description it sounds kind of like mine was. you could take the panel off and check for broken cables, etc. before buying a replacement part. if no broken cables, regulator motor may be bad. might check voltage at motor also. good luck!

[@mcormic97]

Larry Leisuresuit sorry, just read again and saw that you already checked voltage at motor. if no broken cables, could still be motor itself as mentioned before.

[@larryleisuresuit9584]

i went ahead and reluctantly went to auto zone for a new " entire regulator" i see it's lifetime warranty but it is doorman. Guy behind the counter swears by doorman, i have had a few of their parts on the past and i am about 50/50 with there bs. don't get me wrong , i do see everything will match up, but this is so cheap in every way. so what i did was test my old one outside the truck and inside the truck and I found I can get it to work if its at a certain angle or if i bang in it a sec. so that was an interesting test. i tested the new one also and it works perfectly BUT , It does not look the same, the metals thinner, the motor is smaller, the cables are different, it just seems weaker than the OEM . back to the OEM, I decided it has to be in the motor " the problem i mean. because the cables and frame are flawless, I mean they looks so good I could dust them off and sell them for new , everything seems to work. so I pulled the motor, kinda want my 100.00 back from auto zone so i was looking to see if there was something I could do to make that happen and still have a operational window. LOL. so if you are going to pull that motor, just take the three bolts out that hold the black frame, not the motor case, you don't want to undo that before you have the whole thing off and setting at a table. Mine went all to shit, everything came apart with hardly anytime to see and remember how it would go back together since there were busted parts in there. the new motor is small and looks more breakable. yet here I am, with a broken OEM AC/delco , i did gather the info quick and see how the motor is assembled and how it works , so what the problem was, the NEG side while going UP, is connected INSIDE the motor with a resistor built onto the lead wire. the positive lead wire is flexible and the neg is a bare end of the resistor , rather than a coated wire, it's solid and silver looking, anyway, that lead broke, due to the motor case / bracket for the door power, snapping. it was still there but i think maybe the bolts in the whole unit were a little lose and the thing bound up. the negative side was broken inside the motor and i pulled the whole thing apart, soldiered a added piece of wire in there on the broken neg side so it;s flexible where it was rigid and put it all back together ( that putting it back together is harder than it seems in writing.) and put the 4 bolts back in the case, i went to test it and its running strong as a brand new one, stronger really because it;s OEM and the new door man is smaller fragile parts. i am taking the doorman back tomorrow and getting my 1100 dollar bill back LOL cha chaaaa. also i used some white grease everywhere where the door man has it on it on my old dried up unit, i suspect that the grease at factory goes away and that is why the widows start to drag and then eventually wear and tear and dragging ends up breaking cables. i am thinking i probably should remove and inspect them all and grease them up to prevent breakage. the brushes in the motor are small, i bet the added drag really wears them out faster. after 17 years it appears to have a little better than half the life of the brushes left on the MOST used window. i will probably just remember this and do it to every older car i ever get in the future so i don't have this same fail happening. Looks really common and the few hours it will take for each car is worth it to me to not have to buy new regulators. Thanks for the GREAT VIDEO!!!!! really saved me some dough.

[@mcormic97]

Larry Leisuresuit Awesome! Glad you were able to fix yours and hope you’re able to get your refund! Maybe your solution will be able to help someone else in the future if theirs is just the motor. thanks for the reply!
