Default Dead Power Window/s

So guys that have had issues, whats the common cause of the dead power windows or slow rolling up windows. Is it the regulator or the motor?

No ,I don't have a dead window, just the passenger side seems to be slooooooooooooowing down.

i have the SAME exact problem with both front windows, i found an alarm wired into my switch from the lady that had it before, so i think my problem is my main driver switch, but it very well can me the motor, regulator dosent cause it to roll up. Most of the time when u buy a motor it comes with the regulator too....fyi

My passenger window is super slow and labored too.

My only quick guess without tearing into it is that something needs to be lubed.

i had a similar issue where the driver switch for the pass window wouldnt roll it up but down was fine

the door switch on the pass side worked fine

the problem went away the next day so idk
i was thinking something to do with the autodown portion of the switch even though that window doesnt have auto down, the switch still has the feel

uneven pressure on the glass causeing some binding pressure then maybe? which should be present on a new truck too.

It looks to be another common Dakota problem. Dodge just doesn't care about all the issues!
