Power window moves slowly sometimes

[warnerwh]

I'm wondering if anybody knows what would cause my power window in the drivers door to move slowly, both up and down, sometimes. Sometimes it moves more quickly. It seems like warmer days it moves faster but I'm not sure.

Any help is appreciated.

Could be a dirty channel, linkage needs some lube, or your switch has some burnt contacts.

I've removed and cleaned up the contacts in our driver's door switch, but the contacts for the driver's window are badly eroded away and I will have to replace the switch next time it starts acting up.

Another interesting thing, if the front passengers window is closed tight when its cool, then leaving the car in the sun so the passengers side gets nice and hot, the window will jam in up position!!! This may be only a problem with black Town Cars. :)

BTW never remove an interior door panel in cold weather. There are a whole bunch of plastic "pop" fittings that will stay in their plastic sockets in the door and remove the molded part of the door panel they clip into permanently :(

The rear windows on my Town Car do this as well. The front passenger side glass has done it only once. It's frustrating!

I had a 93 town car like 8 years ago and the windows were horribly slow and now I have an 01 town car and most of the windows are horrible slow on it also.

My windows seemed slow to decend when I first got my car, but I was used to another brand/car entirely. Maybe it's just a Lincoln thing? They come up about as fast as my previous car. What I don't like is the "thud" they emit when they go all the way down past the window rubber (makes me think they fell off the track.) When my '96 Impala did that it was because internal components broke, and the window glass would not in fact come back up, because it fell down inside the door, past the rubber, and would get caught under the door sheetmetal. Nice, GM.

The Lincoln's never have though. I assume they are just hitting the bumpstops, but I think I could adjust them to not do this. Raise them up a bit to suit my liking. They are adjustable. Just never felt like taking the door panel off for it, so I live with it or don't use the "express" down function.

Life is too short to worry about such things. LOL...!
