  are you trying to move it by hand or with the motor? I had mine out when I thought the regulator was bad and I could not move it by hand. Turns out I needed new busings so once I did that the regulator that would not move by hand worked fine when turned by the motor.
  
  If it turns out you do need a regulator I have a used one. Bought it when I thought my regulator was the issue but ended up not using it. You can have it if it helps your cause.

  It does not move with the motor. The motor works fine. I actually bought a new motor and installed it but it does not move the regulator. I had it out and it does not move by hand without lots of effort. I will work on the bushings ... I might need that used regulator....I will work on it over the 4th..... Thanks a bunch

  I disconnected the regulator arm from the window and the motor can't move the regulator. I wish it was the guide bushings but I think the regulator is frozen up.

  When you installed the motor were you sure that you didn't bind the motor gear shaft in the recessed area that it goes into? It will bolt down in a bind in the rear, I did my first one that way and then corrected my mistake. Now I always make sure the motor drops or sets into the regulator and then pivots slightly in the opening before I start to bolt it down. You might see 1/16" or so movement after the motor is set in place. If it doesn't move at all it could be in a bind. The long shaft makes for a bigger challenge setting the motor over the front motors, but I do the same with those when rebuilding the window motors too.
  
  Next, if that isn't the case, I wonder if the rear window got broken when previously owned (if that is the case) and pieces of glass fell down into the regulator, locking it up. I haven't found many things that PB Blaster wasn't able to unfreeze, if it is rusted up.
