Default Window motors going bad?Help please

Not sure if its both of them or not.
My passenger side wouldn't go up and that was using both switches driver and passenger. Took the connections off, cleaned them up and put it back on, not much better. Just a go up when I feel like it. However the drivers side was acting up after i plugged them back.
Can both motors be failing or is it something else, fuse maybe?

I saw the window motor install on here if I need to swap them out.
Any suggestions?

Its possible that both could stop working. If they go up just a little bit every five minutes then I would assume the motor is bad. Thats what mine was doing and i replaced and not probs since then. Here link to replace them if you need it http://shbox.com/page/windowmotor.html
