[5th Gen : 08+]: Diagnose Driver automatic window issues
Well wife was driving 2008 GC SXT. Window was down at the drive thru. Would not go up.
I took the door panel off.
Removed the motor from the roller mechanism.
Plugged the switch in and the motor ran strong.
I poked around the center spline briefly with a screw driver to see if I could turn it a fraction easily.
I remounted the motor. Raised the window completely.
Sealed it back up. I bought a Dorman regulator.
Is the window likely binding in the track?
Is the regulator binding?
Or is there likely a momentary loss of contact in the motor?
Best guesses or experiences for further trouble shooting this weekend
