I was leaving work tonight and it’s five degrees fahrenheit out and I start the car and rolled the window down to say something to one of my co workers and when I went to roll it up it moved very slowly and stopped part way up. Then it wouldn’t go up or down so I tried opening and slamming the door to see if that did anything and it didn’t, so I went inside to see which fuse it would be and when I got back out I tried the switch again and it went up slowly. Then I got home and rolled it down to see if it was a fluke. And sure enough it did the same thing. So I went inside for five minuets or so and went back out and it went up. The window has been going up slowly since I got it. Could this be a motor issue or something? The passenger side window also goes up slow.

I didn’t hear the motor even turn on when I was trying it. I held the switch and tried to pull the window up and that did nothing. I don’t know if it’s the cold or if the motor is just on it’s way out.
I wouldn’t mess with it until weather gets warmer. Then remove the interior trim and lubricate the moving parts that raise and lower the glass. My Neon did the same thing and I ended up breaking the wire cable (which had rusted due to moisture inside the door and a lack of lubrication) because I kept trying to keep it moving the window up and down without lubricating the cable. Eventually the cable just broke where it was rusted and I had to replace the power window regulator. My new regulator came with a new motor, it could only be purchased as a unit as individual replacement parts were not available.
I haven’t done anything with it since the other night but I think it’s a motor issue not the regulator. When I hit the switch I heard the motor try to work but then it stopped. And when I tried it again there was nothing at all.
when it warms up outside.here are some videos for help.
before you replace anything.check for 12v to the motor.Also
verify the window regulator is free moving and no broken parts. 🙂Today it was a little warmer out and I had to use the window and it was fine. So I think it was just the extreme cold that caused the issue.
