Poor connection on armature brushes inside window motor. Try pressing window switch to the down position and rap hard on bottom of door panel at the same time.
I would check power to the switch. You could have blown a fuse or broke a wire going into the door. You can pry the switch panel off the door from the top with a flat bladed screw driver. There's a indentation there for that purpose. It's fairly common for older cars to break the wires in the rubber conduit between the car body and the door. They break because they bend every time the door is moved.
there should be a "relay" for it that may have gone bad.
My windows all same behavior. ,(moves a little down and stop ) moves up a quarter inch every 1 or 2 minutes / need an answer
My issue is the front windows won't work, but the back ones do. Wondering if there is a separate relay for the front windows, or possibly a separate ground for them.
I cant seem to get power to the windows at all I dont know what color power goes to the windows so that I can put in a new wire coming from battery
Also as far as I can see I have no bad wires I put in a new fuse box on passenger side still no power
have you checked the switch itself? i replaced mine as well as ordered up the piggyback for the wires, and had a little bit of success. Also, try checking wires going to your bcm (body control module) if you have one. disconnect battery, disconnect bcm (which is usually under the dash on passenger side, under glove box) clean contacts and reconnect everything. If your vehicle has the bcm, it controls voltage going to everything not motor related...windows, etc.
Still no power do you know the colors of the wire going to the window that get power
