Power window help!

Hello All

I am sorry if this has been posted before. I tried to find it and could not. I have a 92 Formula 350 with only 60,000 miles on it. The car is immaculate. My drivers side window will not go all the way up and will roll part way down. Then is stops moving completely. If I turn the car off and let it sit for a minute and turn it back on the window will move again. But not go all the way up or down. I had not one issue with the windows before this. It can out of the blue. N door speakers have put in it or anything. to the door. I have seen videos online about replacing the window motor and even one showing how to drill out the rivets and only replacing the motor and not the entire assembly. Any suggestions? I do not want to replace anything that is not needed and with the intermittent working I was thinking its not the motor. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Again I am sorry if this is posted someplace already. I could not find it

Re: Power window help!

The motor is bad. Or more accurately the circuit breaker in the motor is tripping, killing power to the motor. It works again after it cools off and the breaker resets. Check the obvious things, like remove the door panel and make sure the tracks aren't binding up, etc. Or just replace the motor(s) because they're 30 years old and were crap from day one. Chances are above average it's the motor.
