Ok, I've seen the symptoms before on a Pontiac grand am, so I'm hoping others have seen in and know what the problem is.
I have not had any other problems with my PW before, but yesterday after leaving work, I rolled down the driver's side window due to the heat. After I was on the highway, I rolled it back up, but it only went up half way and stopped.
The switch is a brand new OEM switch that I just replaced about a year ago, because the other one physically broke.
While driving, it seemed if I waited a while, the window would move a little in either direction. (~1/2") The longer I waited, the more it moved. I would need to wait about 1 minute before I tried again. By the time I got home, (~15 min) I almost had the window up again.
The passenger window works just fine.
I'm thinking window motor (I hope not) or relay (could be easier to change than a motor...maybe?)
Any other thoughts? Thanks
Ryan
