Default Driver window function......

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am beginning to experience some problems with my drivers side window. Every once in a while (although it's becoming far more frequent) when I push the drivers' window button the window (or some internal part) will make a kinda grinding noise as it descends. Generally as it closes it's quiet. Of late it seems to want to stop maybe 4" into lowering. A second press of the lowering button does not make it work but I can push "up" and she will close just fine.

BTW the grinding type noise is not an every time thing either. The stopping or not functioning correctly may or may not occur with the grinding.

I have read several threads at various sites saying it might be just the lack of use or the "sticking" of the seldom used window motor but it seems I have two symptoms, the function and the grinding.

Window does the same thing whether the FOB is used or not.
Problem seems mostly related to lowering not raising .
Does exactly the same regardless of me using the buttons or my Valet
Problem is becoming more frequent.
No debris is found on or near the glass.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things but that seems to cover the basic problem.

Any ideas or better yet experiences and resolutions?

Remove door panel and see what is happening. That will be the best way to figure it out.
