Most likely a bad relay in the door control module, many members buy replacement relays, how are your soldering skills.

When mine was doing that, it ended up being the regulator/motor. I replaced the whole assembly and the issue was resolved.

Yep, mine also. Whole assembly is not expensive and several good YouTube how to videos will “get-er-dun”.

You might try the 'Window Wack" method before replacing anything. My passenger window would not work. Did the WACK method and all has been fine for 5-6 years. My electrical engineer neighbor said electric motors can develop flat spots in the wiring. He recommended routinely 'exercising the window'.
