im in ur doorz (a problem with my driver's side power window '90)
makin ur windowz not work properly.
i've been having a problem with my driver's side power window. it'll go down fine. but usually won't roll back up. i can hold the button up forever and it won't. luckily for me, it's been stuck down while raining at night, or on cold days.
i'm thinking the motor is dead. would a motor replacement cure all of this, or is there something more simple i've overlooked?

I just replaced the master switch on mine. Mine would go down just fine, then you would have to pray to Jesus you could get it back up. Sound really similar to your problem, I replaced the switch with one from a ES250 90 I believe, I had to use the good base/connector from the ES with my Black switch cover and woodgrain. Works like a CHAMP, cost $20 at the local salvage yard, and 15 mins of time

THis happened to me on my 91.
BUt it wasn't the switch but rather the window motor.. I originally thought it was a window regulator..I assumed it was the wire kind with the pulleys adn such, but no case.. I took apart and this regulator is really simple, using a few springs and one main arm..
I could roll down, it was slow, but wouldn't go up.. It would make a popping sound about every 3 inches or so...
It was the motor... NEw one was $330 from Dealer.. Just bought one on ebay from a junkyard for $40 and put it in, worked fine.. So in my case something inside the motor broke, I would guess.. So if you window is going down smooth and no clicking or anything, probably the switch, if you hear any abnormal noise, get a motor!
