Power windows are a great luxury, and if you have power windows, you also have a Buick Riviera window motor. The Riviera window motor is located inside your door panel along with the window regulator, which is a series of gears and arms responsible for mechanically moving your windows up and down. When you press your window switch, contacts on the undersides of the switches are connected or disconnected.

This action tells your Buick Riviera window motor which way to move, therefore turning the gears of the window regulator and causing your windows to raise or lower accordingly. When there are problems with your Riviera window motor, your windows are not going anywhere.

How can you tell when your faulty power windows are due to a bad Buick Riviera window motor, and not a stuck window regulator? The simple response is to listen when you press the window switch. If you hear grinding or whirring, but your windows do not go anywhere, your Riviera window motor is still trying to work. However, if you do not hear anything, you may have a burned-out window motor on your hands. Typically, your Riviera window motor will burn out if your window tracks are dirty or grimy, which forces your window motor to work harder to move it. Your Riviera window motor may also simply wear out over time.
