Hello all Car people!!!
I am having an odd Issue and before I disassemble the entire door I’d like to get a feel for what the problem could be.
so my drivers window will go down but makes a odd noise like the motor is stalling about 1/3rd the way down. If I then try to pull it up once it hits that point it makes the same noise and will not move
Now by lifting on the window it will go up.
Also if I try and play with the window it will sometime stop working at all until I put pressure on the window in a direction and actually lift the glass.
Now the Problem started out just making that noise for a brief second as it was traveling in either direction but it used to allow me to continue to roll the window up or down.
I’d like to tackle this myself but just unsure where to start
thanks

You may need a new regulator for this window.
According to Chiltons.com
“Door Panel
Disconnect the negative battery cable if equipped with power window.
Remove the inner garnish.
Remove the regulator handle if equipped.
Remove the fasteners.
Remove the cover.
Remove the screws A, B. the lens or cap, screw C, and then disengage clips D from the body using a fastener remover. Finally, pull the front door trim upward, then disengage hooks E from the body.
Extract the inner handle from the front door trim.
Disconnect the door lock switch connector and the power window main switch connector if equipped. (driver’s side)
Disconnect the power window sub switch connector if equipped. (passenger’s side)
Remove the courtesy light if equipped.
Remove the front door trim.
Install in the reverse order of removal.Front Door
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the front door glass.
Disconnect the front power window regulator connector.
Remove the nuts, then remove the front power window regulator.
To install, reverse removal procedure. Torque nuts to 86 inch lbs. (8 Nm).”Ok great. Thanks for the great info.
Can I bypass the regulator to see if the motor and window works without the regulator?
you could test for 12v to the motor or apply 12v to the motor
to see if it works. you would have to remove the motor to try
and move the window regulator. be careful here.the regulator and
window can slam down without the motor.after looking up what a regulator looks like I’ll just replace it.
Any tips with regarding the new unit. Ie cleaning the tracks

Looks like there’s a cable involved I would make sure it’s well lubricated and I would check the other side and give it some lubrication to keep it going a while longer before it might need replacement too.
