Intermittant drivers side window Ok I have a 2000 Z28, my car only has 30k miles on it. The previous owner replaced the window regulator on the drivers side. It's been working great up to about a week ago now, it seems like if you use it too much it overheats and stops.
You wait like 30 seconds and it'll move a little then stop, the longer you wait the more it moves. This is in both directions, trying to 'help' it with your hands doesn't improve anything.
Is there some kind of built-in overload protection in the motor, or is there a self resetting circuit breaker somewhere in the system?

The motor has an internal electronic circuit breaker (thermal resistor) that will heat up and trip when the motor is overloaded (either by just being worn out or from trying to overcome mechanical drag). This causes it to have to "rest" before it will go up some more. - got that from the shoebox website.
