1999 Cavalier Z24 window

My power window isn't operating properly. It will go down, but won't go up. I'll press the button and it will go up 1/2 an inch at a time and then I have to wait for five minutes and it will go up another 1/2 inch. I thought the track might be blocked, but I took off the door panel and everything looks good. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem? I think it may be the motor, but I don't want to replace that if it is something more simple. Any suggestions?

I had exactly the same problem a few minutes ago with my 2001 Z24. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the problem is either. I tried replacing the switch unit that mounts in the console a few months ago. But now it's happening again. I would like an answer too!

ITS THE MOTOR ITS MESSED UP there are like 3 other threads on this exact page w/ the exact same topic be prepared to drop many hundreds of dollars on getting the peice of crap fixed ur motor is burnt out

The motor is overheating and shutting down. As cavzilla said there are several threads on this already. I wrote up a quickie procedure here (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=3389511&postcount=8) about how to replace a motor from the top of my head. The motors are around $40 to replace yourself. It's not hard if you have the proper tools.
