thanks. nice "hack" on just getting the motor out. I happen to have a 1/4" mini socket wrench with a 10 mil socket. I could R & R the motor inside the door well. I had replaced the motor a couple of years ago. Turns out the part the motor fits into was seized up. The motor torque couldn't overcome the rust. I jammed a screw driver up there and gave it a twist. Sprayed some WD40 up there and works like a champ. A tired champ but it works.

Let me know how it goes. It seems that the part is becoming increasingly difficult to find. I'm considering creating a rebuild video if/when my part gives out. In general, the issue arises from water infiltrating the motor and accumulating at the coil's base. A disassembled cleaning/lube is likely a good idea

Exactly what I am going through now, except my windows never worked like yours just did😮.

If it never worked, I would pull the motor and bench test it (hook to a battery on your workbench). Might need a lot more than a quick fix. Good luck!
