I have an issue where my power windows run slowly even after a new regulator was put in. I tried greasing the tracks and it didn’t help with it. I’m thinking something is not getting enough power or ground

It can be you got a defective window motor regulator replacement, can I ask where you got the replacement part from? Did the old window operate the same way before it broke? If not chances are the new regulator motor is bad.
