Default Wiring or window regulator?

This is my first post here... I hope this goes here. Today I tried to let the driver side window go up. It stopped almost at the top and went all the way down. I clicked it up once again it went almost all the way up the went down half way.SO I held it to roll all the way up. Has anyone experienced this issue? Please let me know your thoughts.

Yes. Probably a mechanical bind and the "hand stuck in the window area" overcurrent detcectio circuit is causing this. Maybe try lubing the rubber tracks with something (rubber lube/dressing/even Armor-All. Or, with key off but door still closed can you hold and it will go all the way? If so, go through several full down and up cycles this way. It sometimes helps the "anti-pinch" feature noted above get recalibrated properly. Otherwise, the brushes in the motor are probably worn out giving a false pinch signal. You would have to replace the motor which really means the motor & regulator assembly.

I have a question as well, my driver side doesnt go up or down. Its currently up but thats it, when I press the button I hear a click on the door and as well when I leave the door open it clicks continuously untill I close the door. I took the panel off and tired spraying the wiring but it didn't work. Maybe I didnt do it right. Anyways any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. The window is up and doesn't come down. I leave door open and constant clicking noise. Pressing down switch results in a click. No movement of window or motor noise.
I welcome any suggestions
