Is my window motor shot?

Ever since i got my car the passenger side window has gone up painfully slow.

A couple weeks ago i went to roll it down and it didnt do anything, so i thought maybe a wire connection had come loose or something. A couple days later i tried it again and it went down about 3 inches, then i went to roll it back up, and it went almost all the way and stopped.

Ive tried it a few times since and checked the wiring, and still cant find any reason for it not to work.

This sound like something the window motor does before it gives out?

If your connections to the window switches are good, it's your window motor.

AZ sells one w/ a lifetime warranty!

my driver side window did the same thing so pulled off the panel...and you wont believe this but...it wasnt the motor or relay...turned out to be one of the channels that holds the window fell apart...and wouldnt push the window up...i ended up jerry riggin the thing for it to work...holding together so far..but i doubt this is your problem...just though i give you a heads up just in case...Ryan
