Default Driver Window -__-

Yay!
Another poor GM design causes problems once again!
This same **** happened on my firebird but it had the problem where the motor would stop then you could wait a few minutes and it would go up. For my TA it will only move about an 1/8 of an inch in either direction then it stops. Almost seems like it gets stuck on something. Has anyone else had this problem before? I did as much research on this forum as I could and couldn't really find someone having this exact problem. Either not working at all or working for a little while then stopping and having to wait. Really hope it's a simple fix and I don't have to replace the motor again -__- thats a serious P.I.T.A.

If you try lifting the window with your hands while rolling it up, will it move farther up? If so, its a bad motor.

Be carefull and dont get your hand caught on the window

If the motor doesn't even make a noise, don't tear it apart right away, check the switch too and see if that is the problem, don't tear things apart until you can verify that its the problem. Most likely its a window motor BUT that doesn't mean don't check other possibility's.
