Exclamation lt1 drivers side window

HELP this is really annoying!!! i have been experiancing this for about a year now but it has been really bad the last couple of months. whenever i roll down my drivers side window it will go a few inches and stop, i then have to wait a few mins and try again and the same thing happens. this had happened in my friends 93 camaro but never got this bad. i have done a few chenck on the wiring and the switch and found those to be good. from looking at electrical diagrams a found that there is a electronic circuit breaker in the door with the window motor. has anyone else experienced this problem? and if so how do i fix it?
thanks, Matt

yep your window motor is definitely on it's last leg. The same thing happened with all 3 of my birds, and had to replace a total of 4 motors lol. It sounds like you will only have maybe a few weeks to a month left with that motor, I would buy a new motor before it stops working all together and wind up having your window stuck rolled down. Here is an excellent walk-thru if you want to install it yourself:

Hope this helps
