Check for power at the motor when pushing up or down on switch, if you have power tap the motor with hammer or blunt solid object. If this works your window motor is going bad and it may work for a week or a year but will eventually need to be replaced. If it does not work double check switch fuses and wires from motor to switch and switch thru doorjam .
Would seem your into the inner doors & have a partial
grasp on things
Now you fix all door windows one shot
#1 Test all switches,ohm meter unplugged or volt meter with power
#2 Test all motors with battery voltage direct -- DC motor will run either direction-- can't hook up wrong
#3 Window Regulators -you know about them (Unless they are broken-you said they are tight)
#4 Do you have good ground side wiring & battery voltage at all
switches & motors
#5 Last resort--unhook the cables & work on freeing up the
glass & window guides etc then you will have found out if the
regulators are the issue
On one hand, it is coming up to 10 years old, and nowadays, that is pretty good for this car........as this is not a little hatch, but a kind of workhorse........
But then, it's all a matter of the budget.....yours that is.....
I would suggest buying a new car, but then again, you know the vehciel history of this one......so it really is a matter of personal choice....!!!!
Sounds like a motor issue. Remove the door panel and check power to the motor whe the switch is pressed. If you have power in both directions the motor is bad.
You'll need to replace the solenoid (motor) that doesn't work. Not hard once you get the door panel off. I suggest you buy the correct part, not a universal one.
Sometrimes the wires between the door and the body break from opening and closing the door, check your window motor for paower with a test light, if no power, you have a broken wire, between the door and body
your fan motor needs to be replaced chances are it doesn't spin free and due to a sudden vibration it will work on it's own. when you have this replaced i would also change the reostat.
