2000 Buick Regal electrical problems

1. I have a 2000 Buick Regal LS and the drivers side window (front left) will
not go down. Each of the other three windows go up and down just fine.

2. Same Car. When I attempt to use the high beam signal, it does not "click"
and stay in the on position. The high beams do comes on but does not stay on,
unless I hold the stalk back.

3. Same Car. The heat/defrost blower only works in the "high" position.

4. What do I need to do to fix these issues and can I do any of them my self.
I can do basic work (oil change CV Joints, Brakes, etc...

5. What costs should I expect to pay for parts and services.

Please advise.

Thank You.

Most likely you'll need to replace the motor. Remove the door panel and
you'll have terrible, but servicable access to the motor. You'll need to
drill out the rivets that hold the motor in. Use screws and nuts or rivets
to install the new motor. Make sure you use lock washers and loctite or
locknuts when you put the new motor in. Dealer price on a new motor is
around $40 if my memory serves me correctly. Don't trust that though -
check youself. Likely you can get one out of a junk yard also. The same
motor will be used throughout many years and many car models.

Sounds like the plastic piece under the steering wheel is broken. You'll
need a steering wheel puller and the plate puller. They cost around $20 in
the aftermarket however some stores like Auto Zone may have them to rent.
No idea on the parts cost. Will likely be a dealer only item or junkyard.

Burnt out resister module located right next to the blower motor. Just
bought one two days ago at my local Chevy dealer - $20 with tax. Lay on
your back under the passenger side dash - remove the trim panels, you'll see
the resistor module sticking out of the heat duct near the blower motor.
Two screws hold it in. One can be a son of a gun to get out on some cars.
One is all that is needed to put back in.
