Power windows still arnt working!

I have replaced the motors and switches with all brand new OEM and yet my windows still do the .... die wait 1 minute and then they go the rest of the way up. Is there maybe some kind of relay I can change or something? I am stumped.

I am bumping this because I am still lost. Should I replace the motors again? What else could I do?

The windows have self-resetting circuit breakers instead of a fuse. Basically the circuit break trip when there is too much current, then after a bit they cool off and reset back to normal. Now if your tracks are dirty or not moving smoothly, the motor works harder and may trip the breaker. So when you say die, if you mean the motor just stops entirely, that may be what's happening.
