My driver side window acts kinda sluggish sometimes or doesn't want to come up at all, is this the window motor going bad or could it be the switch? I had this problem in a 4th gen Camaro and it ended up being the switch, yeah the motor eventually went out but at the time it was the switch that was acting up.

I'm not so sure that I need one but I guess if it's only $11 it won't hurt to replace it anyway just to be safe, then if I still have the problem I will know to replace the switch itself.

I had this same problem. Changing the switch is a lot easier than pulling the door apart.

And I didn't even replace the switch. I just removed it, disassembled it, cleaned the black arcing dust off the contacts using sandpaper, and lubed it up with dielectric grease.

Works perfect. Cost of repair - $0.00.

I like the cost of that even more, I'll give it a try and if it doesn't work then I will replace the motor. Thanks for the help and the tip on that site, I didn't know it existed. Checked the price of the motor and it was $16
