The other night I rolled my window down, but it wouldn't come back up. I noticed that when I tried to put it back up, it would go up about 1/4 of an inch and stop, and then nothing would work (none of the windows, up or down).
If I let it sit for a minute or two, or turn the car off and turn it back on again, all the other windows will work fine. If I try to move the drivers window up again, it does the same thing - bumps up 1/4 of an inch and nothign will work for a few minutes or until I turn the car on and off again.
The first time this happened (and I realized the pattern), I was turning the car on and off repeatedly to get the window up (1/4 of an inch at a time). All of the sudden (about 20 "bumps" into it) the window just worked and went up the rest of the way. It only did that once, and is now back to the way it was before (broken).
Also, when I'm in that few minute period of nothing working, the electric door locks won't work either.
I pulled the switch in the center console to check that, and its not the switch. I'm thinking that since the motor hasn't been getting slower over time, and that it worked breifly after having the problem, that its not the window motor, but a relay or module.
Does this sound like a general module problem? I'm going to pull the door panel tonight and try to directly power the motor to go up and down, but is there any way to directly power the motor from under the rear seat so I don't have to take the panel off?
Any other suggestions?
