Default Drivers side window bluntly stopped working?

I searched but didnt find the answer....

I just replaced the passenger side motor about 4 days ago and now it works great. The drivers side motor worked just fine until last night. The motor wasn't going dead, it rolled up and down perfectly. I rolled down my windows to drive home, and when I got home, I rolled up my pass. side window, perfect. Went to roll up the drivers side and nothing happened. No clicking noises, no partial roll up, no slowed movement like with my pass. side motor, nothing at all.

What could have happened because right now it is under the carport with the window still rolled down...

I recently had this problem and I would look at that new motor as it might have gone bad, mine would do this and every now and then it would start working again. I know it's hard to think about a new part going bad but I wouldn't eliminate it if your switch is good.

drive you car around for awhile, every 20 seconds or so hit the window switch up and it'll close eventually, happens to my driver side window

and i can open my driver side window down a few inches but i go half way and the window gets stuck till i drive around a while and press on the window switch till the window is closed, i'am assuming my window motor is going dead too

Thats EXACTLY what our 00 is doing right now.. You dont even have to drive it around, just let it idle, and every now and then push the up button.. Only reason i say to let it idle, its so its got more juice, then when off.
