Power Window Conundrum! please help
96 cherokee sport Power windows.
Problem: Windows will inexplicably stop working for short periods of time, 10-15min on average, then driving down the road i will try them again and bam its like normal. It may only do it for 2 min and sometimes i gotta wait 30+min to put the window back up or roll it down. When it happens and i flip the switch either up or down its dead no noise no movment or anything (like when u flip the window lock out switch, and no thats not it... been there tried that.)
It may happen every couple weeks, not daily. It happens in both wet and dry conditions. it happens when im driving around town, and when its sitting in the driveway and im cleaning it with the windows down. But it always seems to do it when i pull up to a toll booth!
Fuses all look good, and conections to the switch looks fine. no obvious wire shorts. Really could use some help on this one. thanks
