It worked out great! It was really easy too. Just make sure that if you clean out the motor don't clean down deep where the shaft is. I started to and noticed that there was grease down there. There are a couple of contacts that are probably the critical points to be cleaned. If you are not comfortable doing this Brian, I can help you on our next install meet. It really is easy though. Thanks Joe!

You can always try to spray WD-40 down in your switch. I had a car a long time ago and the drivers window wouldnt work and I tryed that and low and behold that worked. If its the motor though of course that wont.

I really do think that it is your switches or the wiring harness to those switches. Do you ever have a problem with being able to switch your lock as well? It took a couple of tries putting everything back together to get the switches to work for me. Luckily you don't even have to take the door panel off to get to that. They just pop up off the door. If you don't hear them clicking when you move them up or down then you know that is what your problem is.

I have had to do this to my window motor a couple times, apparently carbon or something builds up in there, but once you do it, you should be good. Yea, did you enjoy removing all those nuts? Pain in the butt, but saves money...I need to get my door locks fixed if anyone knows how to do that. The door lock actuators are like $300 for both i think and then they have to be installed...I currently just manually lock 'em...

Where is this relay?any info greatly appreciated
