i know the motor and regulator are two differnt things as i have replaced my rear driver side one recently. And yes it failed and the window dropped completely down. I transferred the existing motor on the old one onto a new aftermarket regulator problem solved. What you are describing does sound like my motor since i have these exact symptoms.so maybe i should just get a motor too just don't really wanna blow cash on shit.

Second, I will have to disagree with Weasel - I had a slow driver's window a few year's ago and purchased a regulator, but it ended up being the motor. Window would always go up and down, but going up it was really slow. From a lot of what I have read on here, when a regulator quits, it quits - window won't move at all.

With that said, knock on wood, after almost 150K miles I have yet to replace a window regulator!!!!
