my truck is doing the same thing. my problem is the master switch on the drivers side.

 

Does it do the same from both switches, then maybe its the motor, if only one side then the switch

 

well i had a problem similar to this. i would roll it down and it would get stuck on the way up, had to use pliers to pull it up. and i would have to pull towards the front of the truck. took the door panel off and one of the arms on the scissor part was not attached to the bottom of the window. so it seemed like there was no power to push it up. but actually it was getting stuck bc only one side was working.

yours might be a electrical problem. but i thought mine was also till i took it apart

hope you get it fixed

hope you get it fixed

I fixed it for ya..

 

Mine does the same I just don't role it completely all of the way down.

Just replaced both sides in my truck. Take the door panels off. There is somewhere round 6 10mm bolts holding the motor and regulator on. Napa sells the whole kit. 70 bucks? Each. I threw the rivets away that it came with. Reused the bolts. It's just cheap tin push and they will cut themselves in.

 

Clean the contacts on the switches on the door switch just take it apart and spray it with electrical contact cleaner and scrape the copper plates with a knife and it should be good fixed mine

 

I'll try that before spending any money. Just seems weird that usually it's fine and sometimes it just gives up for a few minutes. Bad contacts makes sense...

 

My passenger side window does the exact same thing. Goes down just fine but stops dead on the way up. Wait about a minute and it will go up another inch or two. Wait another minute and it goes another inch or two again. Repeat until it is fully closed. The window goes up straight. It acts the same with either switch on driver or pass door. I pulled the pass door panel off and cleaned up the contacts and added dielectric grease on both the little plug-in that goes to the motor and the pass door switch plug-in.

So..., is the motor the for sure problem or should I keep checking wiring/contacts?

 

Just to update anyone that has the same problem, I replaced the pass side window motor this spring and that was the problem. Works fine now.

 

Ok, you you need to start your own thread about YOUR problem.

 

My driver window dies going up sometimes, and seems to be getting worse. Can anybody confirm contacts vs wiring vs motor vs regulator before I start taking things apart?

 

nope. the only thing i have not replaced yet is the passenger side switch. i ended up hot wiring the drivers sides switch.

 

I guess I'll start simple, with the contacts. I know the switch works because I hear a click and the window twitches. It just won't roll up unless I leave it alone for a few minutes. Then it rolls up fine.

Intermittent problems suck

 

yes mine was the same way. like it over temps and shuts it off. trust me been there and i ended up hot wiring the drivers side. both work correctly now. i will replace the switch after i get my truck back together.

 

If cleaning the contacts doesn't do it I'll just replace the switch.

Of course to do any of this I'm pulling the door panel, so I could find a mutilated regulator, but I doubt it.

Kinda funny everyone has their passenger side go out and mine's the driver side. Driver gets used way more, so it makes sense to me.

 

mine would flip flop. was rather annoying. the passenger side went out first though. and the best i could determine was that power was not being sent on one circuit. which in turn was needed for both doors.

 

Kind of related: while I have the door panel off, I'd there anything I can do to "tune up" my power window? Grease the regulator pivot points? Clean something out? Tighten something? I hate slow power windows.

 

Look at the channels the window rides up and down in. Sometimes gunk builds up there.

 

Mine did this once took my motor out thinking it must be bad but then rode down to orielys to get a new motor and had pulled the window up. Motor wasn't bad and the mechanism was free since I could get the window up by hand. Got home put some light grease on the gear contacts and reassembled, works like a charm ever since. Didn't end up replacing anything just took apart and put back together. Maybe that's just my luck but I seem to be able to do that with some things. Worth a shot at least

 

My guess is that'll fix the problem for almost everyone in this thread.

Catch-22: too cold to risk rolling down the window, too cold outside to fix it.

 

i replaced the passenger side regulator assembly, with no change worked ok for 45 sec and went back to inop. gave the master switch a different power source a bam...both windows started working.

 

Interesting... problem in the fuse block? Pinched wire somewhere?

Where did you pull power from to feed the master switch?

 

thats what i am thinking. i used the big red wire in the harness to the master switch. just made a t-splice.

 

Oh, that's the wire I thought was flaking on you. So which wires did you replace with your splice from the fat one?

 

none. i snipped one wire that feed the relay in the switch iirc. i am not near the truck at the moment and its been a while since i have done this. i'll snap a pic this weekend when i get near the truck.

 

K. There's a winter storm heading my way and I can't fit through my garage door, so it's gonna be a while before I get a chance to crack into my own door panel
