Default Mechanical issue- 1998

I had the window motor replaced since my window wouldn't go up and down. After it was replaced it started causing issues where the electrical would totally shut down. Motor replaced again and same thing. I got stranded numerous times. Now window won't go down again and same issues. Help!

First thing is to pull your codes and see what's happening. After pulling the codes, report back here with what you've found. Just on a hunch, check your connections in the accordian tubes in the doors (by the door hinges). They're well known to have issues. Here's how to pull the codes.
