Re: 1997 chevy astro drivers power window goes down but...
Power Window motor seems to be going . There are two motors in the door panel one to raise and one to lower ....i would replace the raising motor. Should only take 2hrs for novice.

you can connect the hose from the water pump and hose that goes into intake manifold behind the alternator with a copper 1/2 inch or 5/8 90 degree fitting. maybe $2.00. and two 3/4 hose clamps. maybe another $2.00...
its lost its memory ,hold key in lock and close window then holding key in closed position for 10 secs should reset the memory in the electronic control box on the window motor memory inside this control box
Motor is overheating due to drag in the window tracks or possibly shorted windings. Try using silicone lube spray in the tracks. If this doesn't work, you probably need a new motor.
The motor is shot. It works a little and overheats, replace the motor . Same thing the the lock acuators. The are trying but have lost the power to move the locks. May as well replace them while the door is apart.
Tom,
See this alot. Sorry,It appears that is a symptom of a bad motor. If it moves an inch or so,then nothing,after a few minutes another inch or so,it's motor time!
You might have a circuit breaker getting weak in that circuit, as some manufacturers incorporate that, and it resets itself when key turned off. That might explain why inches after key turned off & on. Does your manual, or fuse panel have anything labeled as circuit breaker? Have a listen under dash on both sides of vehicle, and down near kick panels by feet area while someone tries window for you, and see if you can by chance hear circuit breaker trip (click) . Actually, get them to jog it down & it may be easier to hear & locate.
If all the other windows work when the passenger window won't move (during the 5 min period), then the passenger side motor is bad. If the motor pulls too much amperage, the circuit breaker that is built into the motor will trip, until it cools down.
