SOURCE: 98 corolla drivers side window won't roll down or up well

I just repaired a 1999 Corolla (160,000 miles) window regulator with the same problem. I checked the motor commutator windings for shorts and the motor was OK. The brushes were still good. The motor is built like a clock - extremely well made with almost no indication of wear. Bench testing showed that the motor would not rotate once it had been run for a few seconds.
Elsewhere on the Internet someone mentioned a PTC Thermistor. This was exactly what was causing the problem. This is a special type of resistor "in series" with the motor that increases resistance when hot. It prevents the motor from drawing much current when stalled at the top or bottom of the window travel or in event of a jam, etc. The thermistor doesn't look like a standard "Radio Shack" part. By pulling off the motor top the magnets and commutator pull out. The PTC Thermistor is the two large copper plates separated by a silver looking material about 0.001" thick that are in series with one of the brushes. To fix, short out the thermistor. I tested with a small clip of copper wire. I made a permanent fix by soldering a jumper from one plate to another. During assembly, don't break the brushes.
The power window works great! I don't need an "electronic minder" to stop power to the motor at the top or bottom of the travel; I can do that. I don't intend to place my head in the window and push the button. If you have kids, this fix might not be for you.

Chevy Malibu 2005 window wont roll up or down.

Sounds like the window regulator broke (the mechanism that moves your window up and down). It has cable to do the lifting the window up and pulling the window down. These cables do break.

Ford fairlane1992 electric windows - front driver side not working

Ok Could be one of 3 things...... 1. Bad switch. they're realively easy to replace. Cardone/HELP makes these switches and you can get them at any auto parts store.
2. Bad ground to the window motor.
3. Bad window motor.My best advise is goes the easiest, cheapest route. Replace the swithch first. That way if it solves the problem, you only have a couple of bucks into the repair, and you didn't change anything you really didn't need to get into. If it doesn't fix it, you still have a few bucks into it and a brad new switch in it that you don't have to worry about for a long while.
IF you are not mechanically inclined with automotive elctrical systems, and the switch replacement didn't work, take to a reliable mechanic and have it checked for the bad ground first. Window motors can be pricey.

I was driving and my car lost all power and won't restart I've been told the engine is seized solid and the timing chain is broke and that's why it wont work but the wheel's didn't lock...

I assume your S class is an automatic gearbox ,hence the roll to a stop when engine seize/cam chain break.the symptoms of a camchain break would be the valves will hit the pistons causing major damage to valves, pistons,cylinder head, conrods, bores and possibly crank.Its possible that the engine seized first causing the chain to break,either way it would be a seriously expensive/terminal engine problem.

1998 ford explorer a/c and heater wont work

You lost the Freon again, because you probably only fill up Freon last winter, you didn’t check the leak and fix it,

You have to check the AC belt, compressor, AC clutch, condenser ( see the small glass window to find out if there is some bubbling, if your Ac has bubbling, you need fill up Freon.
