Default window motor

when i try and roll up my drivers side window it takes like 10-15 seconds to start going up. if not i have to push and hold it on a certain spot. but all the other windows work on that side. is it the motor or something else..

thanks for the help!!!

Sounds like motor issues. Pull door panel and check for power and ground just to be sure.

You could have a bad motor, but more likely you just need to clean and lubricate the window slide mechanism and other moving parts. Had the same problem and what I dd was pull the interior door panel off, checked all the parts for alignment and security, wiped down all the grime with denatured alcohol, and lubricated all moving parts with white lithium grease. If you still question the motor, then when you have the door apart use a cordless drill battery to cycle the motor up and down. After cleaning and lube it should work perfect, if it does not, then the motor is probably the culprit.
