Need to buy 2 new window regulators for the Vehicross
these 2 are shot.
hopefully if I get new ones atleast they will last for a little while.
who sells them online?

IsuzuParts.com is what I use. Others will undoubtedly chime in with Merlin at St. Charles, but I find that the price shipped is about the same. (From what I can see the advantage to Merlin is that he'll work hard to find stuff that's backordered / unavailable). But either one should have the regulators in stock.

There's also a link on the bottom right of the main page to a new contact for Isuzu parts. Jim something, I don't have experience with him, but you could shoot him an email.

Btw, it may be possible that the regulators are still okay, but that the track needs lubrication. I went to the trouble of ordering a driver's side regulator/motor assembly, only to have the installer find out after replacing it that all it really needed was a little white lithium grease down the tracks. No harm no foul, now I have a spare in the garage when I need it.

Worth a try if you haven't already.

Hi snake!
Two weeks ago my windows stopped working;Thought was the switches/regulators.
I was about to purchase all that & ended up being a relay located behind the driver's kick panel.
There's three relays,you can test it by switching those relays ( they all have same voltage/amperage/configuration & try see if your windows work
Yesterday i went to a junk yard & got one for $ 20 from a 98 rodeo which use the same relays.
The window relay is the 3rd one.

By the way, how do I know when the regulators are bad? When my drivers side window came off the track a few weeks ago I had my mechanic take a look at it. He claims I need a new motor and regulator. I'm skeptical about the motor, I suspect some lube in the tracks will take care of the poor slidability(?), but what indicates a bad regulator? I am ordering the SBC brackets and would like to install the reg at the same time if I need one.

Didn't I read on another thread that the regulators from a Rodeo will work, only you need to switch them left for right, and vice versa?

Regulators? Are you talking about the rocker switch boxes located in the driver/passenger door handle? I have two driver side switch boxes... no pass side tho... they are used but work... I'll sell them cheeeep... 40% of the best price you have on a new one... plus shipping.

If you mention this website, Merlin will ship free.

This is exactly what happened to me, which is why I have a spare working regulator/motor in my garage.

Right, but Merlin with no shipping generally equals IsuzuParts with shipping.

I'm in neither camp, whoever has my parts is who I go with. But they're generally the same price.

I got reman motors from Napa for something like $75 I think. I didn't need to replace the regulator.

Sorry for the dumb question, but WTH is the regulator? Some people seem to think it is the switch, I have always thought it was the mechanical parts that the motor attaches to...
So, which part(s) make up the "regulator"?

You are correct, the regulator is the mechanical part.

My drivers side window just stalled in the lowered position. it will move up an inch, but no more.

I took the door apart, and the cable that winds around the drum, and pulls the window up and down shreaded a few strands and they birdnested forming a jam.

Undoutably this is due to the extra effort it exerts to lift our poorly aligned windows.

Monday I'll be calling around for a replacement.
