When i open the passanger window below some point it stops and it doesnt go up or down. doesnt matter if I try from passanger or driver side then i wait for about 5 minuts and it works for a minut then it stops again so i have to wait couple minuts and it works again for moment.

Most likely a bad window motor.When they go bad they can draw too much amperage and cause the breaker to kick, disrupting power for a few moments til it cools again.Remove the door panel and see if the motor is getting power with a test light
