    My driver side window has been acting up. It'll roll all the way down then, sometimes, it doesn't want to roll up unless I wait for a few minutes (kind of like it has to charge up some energy) then it'll go back to normal operation. My passenger window hasn't done this one bit which leads me to believe it's the motor going. Anyone have the same issue? Thanks

    Suspension, 33s, some armor... Rust, Gray wire and 2Low, and more. T4r is stock.
    I would guess the motor is failing or a bad connection that heats up and loses contact. It could be the starter capacitor on the motor as well.

    Yep the motor is going out. Mine did the same. I purchased a whole regulator motor assembly on eBay for like $40. Came with a 10 year warranty too. Works great now. Driver side went first and now the passenger is finally starting to act up. Time to order another one.

    Edit. Actually there was one small problem with the new one. The polarities were switched so the window rolled opposite to the switch. Easy fix though by switching the pins in the connector to the motor.

    Thanks. That's what I figured was happening. Just wanted to get some input from some forum members before I go out and get a motor. I know they aren't expensive I'm just lazy
