Default another window question

My driver side window is making me crazy it goes down just fine but does not want to go up all the way at one time. It will go up a little and then I have to wait a few min's then I can get it to close all the way. I replaced the motor and put in another window switch and the same thing. When it starts to go up and stops when I push the switch again it will not move but I seem to hear a noise I think is coming from inside the dash. I've read a bunch of stuff but either I'm looking by it or I don't see it. Any positive input would be Great.

sounds like the thermal protect in the window motor, kinda weird to see it continue to a new motor, have you checked to see if anything is binding up in the door. not sure what the noise in the dash could be.

Stock motor designs are notorious for being bad out of the box. Most are remans, even if labeled "new."


If you go with the updated Doorman design, the motor will realm be new and it should last you a lot longer.
