Icon2 HELP! Passenger window won't roll down!?

I have a 96 coupe with 2000 si doors and this morning I turned on my car and heard a weird clicking sound coming from the inside of the passenger door panel! It sounds like a relay clicking over every 5-10 seconds! I tried pushing both buttons on both doors to see if it was a putton malfunction but I can hear a scondary clicking sound when I push the buttons so I k ow the buttons work. Any ideas Honda-tech? Thanks in advance!

It's pretty easy to replace the window regulator but they cost about $180 from Honda, they have some on ebay but u get what u pay for. I know a guy who was being cheap and bought an ebay one and it sucks to say the least.

Does anyone on here have any "how to" write ups or have any advise on figuring out what exactly is happening? I don't want to replace the regulator and have it not fix my problem. =( (Ive never dealt with any door issues and I absolutely hate electrical problems.)

Take the door panel off and then try and roll the window up or down and look and listen. If it's the regulator u will c it and feel it.
