Default Window motor

I searched first but....... My window sometimes stops going up. Then i will have to wait a while then it will go up a little and stop again. Is this the motor or switch. Also i see motors on ebay are these good or is there a part number for somewhere i can get descent ones. Thanks

It is the motor, this is a super common problem.

People have actually recommended the replacement one at autozone. Not the Delco one, the other one. The reason it happens has somethin to do with a type of safety device on the motor that trips when it gets hot wearing out and tripping more often when the motor isnt getting as hot.

Yep...as others have said the motor is crap. Mine did the same thing, I went to Auto Zone and bought the best one they had....Siemans, lifetime warranty. Been in there for about 4 months now and working great. And if it craps out again I can get another for free. Good luck!
