Well, yes it has a regulator, but the regulator is just a mechanical piece that moves like a scissor lift. The window motor is what spins around to make the regulator move the window up and down, unless I'm mistaken. I can't see why the regulator would affect anything unless it was like physically stuck or something, in which case I would think it wouldn't move at all, or I'd hear the window motor trying to spin and move it. I could be wrong though; I'm just speculating.

In addition, my seat motor went bad on my 300zx and it would move back, just not forward. I replaced the motor and all was good, which would lead me to believe it is possible for the motor to be broken for one direction but not the other.

I'll check the regulator after work and see if I notice any restrictions or why it shouldn't be working. There's a window motor on eBay for like $80, but I'd rather be positive that it is the motor after dropping $220 on a new switch today.
