Default G spot on power window motor

Hey, so for a long time now i have been having issues with my power window on the drivers side. I have tried replacing it a bunch of times. It works, then stops, then it would only work when i pulled a couple wires and just kind of jiggled them. I am sure it is a wiring or harness problem, but is there any easy fix for this? I have taken the inner door panel off, but its pretty hard to get in there and see the wires. Anyone else have any experience with this?

I've had the same experience as you.

Its just crappy motors. Have you replaced it with a Dorman design, yet? That should solve the issue. Most "new" motors that you can get are remans. The Dorman is 100% new and better sealed.

Ive changed motors out 3 times on both sides! And headlight motors too. Just buy new ones and get the warranty cuz they will go bad again

Not enough description in your original post to tell. If your motor is a equal opportunity flop and fails on you going up and down, you might not have the harness on the motor properly. (Its kind of a bear.)

Are you putting it on with the speaker out of the door? I had to use a pair of extra long nose pliers to hold the wire and then get up in there with my other hand to get it on straight. You can confirm with an inspection mirror.

Maybe try jumping wires across the switch harness to see if it works with the switch out of the equation?
