So I am pretty sure my window motor is on it's way out. Can anyone confirm it?
Today I was putting down my passenger window and I noticed it stopped going down. Now if I wait it out for maybe 30 seconds to a minute it gets a "charge" and will go up, but then it will stop dead again.
I thought it could have been the circuit breaker, but both windows should have been having this problem. So is it almost dead? And if so how much is a new motor?

If you want to prevent this from happening again, install the autotrix fix into the passangers side.

window motor is dead. replace it before you get stuck with it down and can't lock your car. You can find tutorials easy enough on how to replace it. It's not hard at all. If I remember right, autozone had them for like 60 bucks.

Thanks guys. Now I might try to get a motor from Autozone since they have a lifetime warranty on it. Anyone know any difference between aftermarket motors? I am not sure which brand they sell.

Tough to collect on a warranty with something you buy on ebay, takes time and shipping money. Whereas your local auto parts store, you just return it local. I agree, I like to shop online a lot. But for things where you might need a warranty, www shopping is not a plus that way.

The common thing that goes bad in the motor is the switch/relay that turns off the motor when the window hits resistance all the way up/down. Autozone claims that their new design has additional sealing/protection around this part, which keeps it from fouling.
