Power Window - Switch or Motor, or both

Keep in mind that these motors work by reversing polarity and that's done in the switch. The power and ground flow through the master switch and passenger switch. Everyone suspects poor power when something doesn't work right, but most often it's a bad ground. The ground for the driver's switch is located on the left pillar and passenger switch on the right pillar. Clean those before you replace any other parts.
You could also do a voltage drop test between the driver's switch ground wire and the ground at the pillar. Same on passenger side.
If all that checks out and you've lubed the channels, I'd suspect a bad regulator. I've had a few of those.
