Power Windows Again!!! It goes up but doesn't wanna go down.

The passenger side window draws a lot of current when I try to open it. And it moves really slowly. But when I close it it's just fine.
Any comments ?????

I have usually found that the cause believe it or not is a dirty window or weather strip at the bottom of the window. Try cleaning both the inside and outside weather strip at the bottom of the glass with alcohol and clean the glass even if the glass looks clean. give a try

Also, a healthly lubing of grease for those window tracks helps a slow motor!
