Default Driver side window goes halfway down Help!!

The windows moved up and down but will not fully go down, it stops half way, I removed the accordian rubber piece in the door shook the red wire hard and it did completly go down, but stopped again when I stopped moving the wire. Anyone know what is wrong. I dont think it is the regulator because the window still oves up and down. Bill you their. Thanks

you either have a loose connector or a broken wire....you can pull that conduit out and the plug for the harness is inside the frame in the off chance its loose, I highly doubt it....anywho....with that pulled out you can see if you can figure out which wire is your issue....if worse comes to worse I have a harness for sale and I am in FLA

I suspect that you can probably fix it once you can see the harness and play around with it...you may just have to pull the door panel

It's more than likely the regulator mine went down a few inches and stop and would always go back up put your ear to door if u hear what sounds like broken glass when it moving its the regulator, GM replacement about $165 can get them cheaper on E-Bay

If it is not the regulator it could be a bad relay in the door control module. Do a search and you will find how to fix the module will inexpensive replacement relays.
