sludge62,
Here is what I found out. Although there are many parts inside the door which operate the window... there are really only 2. The motor, and everything else (the guides, rollers, cables... all known as the regulator). From what I gather, most problems are either with the regulator or the motor. The wheel which gathers up the cable inside the regulator gets dirty (extreamly dirty if you live out in the sticks like I do). This in turn causes the window to slow down or stop. The motor is working overtime when the regulator is dirty and thus may burn out.
Some people may want to only replace the motor... if it burned out there is a reason, so change the whole thing (motor and regulator).
I was able to order a motor and regulator for under a $100. I'll let you know how easy (or hard) it is to change out when they arrive.
