Good morning, when I oush on the window down button the headlights dim and the window will not go down. If the window does go down about an inch it will stop. Using the up button the window goes up just fine. All other windows work fine. Is this most likely a window motor or something else?
Thanks for the help,
Maury

i would look into checking the window regulator. if it goes down only about an inch then something is binding like a bent widow regulator, or even the window might be slightly off track. check that first. if thats fine then look into the window motor. :)
