Yesterday, I turn the car off and go to roll up the driver's side window. The window was fully open, and got about 1-2 inches from the top, then just stopped. The stereo was still on, so I still had power. I hadn't opened the door (you know the whole thing with the power staying on for either ten minutes or until you open the door.) So I turn the key to the on position (didn't start the car, just turned to the on position). The window still wouldn't go up the rest of the way. The volt-meter in the gauge cluster was reading about 10V or so, which seems low. But the car started (and still starts) just fine. Also the battery was just replaced about 6 months ago with an Optima Red Top. Anyway, when the car was started the window rolled right up, no problem.

Long story, I know, but what could it be? Is the volt-meter supposed to read that low when the car is off? Could it just be a faulty window switch? Any advice or ways to test it would be appreciated.

your window motor is going out. Happens to me to. Going to have to replace it sooner or later. I still need to do mine as well.

what he ^^^^ said

The motor's overheating and tripping a built in breaker... it'll start off doing it a little... then if you wait it'll work, then stop, wait, work stop etc... but it won't be long till the motor is totally dead
