you can hear the window motor in the door clicking when i hit the switch down, and the voltage meter moves and the tach too but the window does not.. was just working perfect last time (2 days ago),, as i said the motor is new,,,

Shouldn't be a ground issue as you have 3 bolts grounding the motor to the door which is grounded to the birdcage.
Is it really a "new" motor or a rebuilt one? Most local parts stores sell rebuilt motors.
Also, did you test the motor during the install?

I'm rebuilding my doors now and I noticed that the horizontal track was hitting one of the motor bolt heads and holding up my window. Just a thought...
I ended up going with a rounded (allen wrench) head style. Still comes really, really close but when I push in the door to recreate the issue the track just skips over the head now.
