If you have replaced the motor/reg assembly then it has to be an electrical problem. Use a multimeter or test light to make sure it has power on the down and up strokes at the reg plug.

Have you checked the rubber strips that guide the glass up, mine were rusted towards the bottom and jammed the window down each time.

Did you take out the window mech and test it without the window or anything on it?

i managed to repair 2 electric ones using the wiring from the manual ones i took out.

Check my for sale thread new suff aded today,

Regards,

Michael
