Default Drivers side window acting up...

Hey guys! Need some advice. The drivers side window on my 02 Vert is acting up. Some times it will not roll down, other times it will not roll up. Usually will start back again after some time, and I've notice if I get somewhere, shut the car off, and then get back going again, the window acts normally. Do you think this is a sensor, motor, or relay problem? Thanks in advance for any help!

There are many threads on the forum pertaining to this problem. Try searching old posts. This is a VERY common problem.

Most likely the relay inside of the LDCM is failing. Contacts are probably worn out.

from what I ahve seen in posts, this may well be caused by a loose or chaffed wire. Open the door and try shaking the cable bundle that goes to the door while you're trying to raise and lower the window. If shaking the cable causes it to wirk and not work, then all you need to do is figure out where one of the wires in that cable is either loose, or possibly damaged.
