I am having trouble with my power window on my drivers side. I noticed that the window starting going up and down much slower each week for about a year. Now it will go down about six inches and stop. I have to wait five minutes or so before before it will move in any driection again. It only moves about an inch or so each time I try. Needless to say it has taken me about a half an hour to get the window up. I haven't used it since. I was wondering if it was electrical, the motor, or maybe the regulator. I was hoping that you would be able to give me some assistance in diagnosing and maybe even direct me how to fix the problem. Thank you very much. I saw a similar questoin posted but my door is a little different. My car has the switches for the power window between the seats and not on the door.

sounds like the motor went bad and needs to be replaced. make sure if you get one is a factory one, most after market ones dont last very long
