The passenger window began to work slowly and then began to stutter with the window shaking as hit gets higher. It does this going up and down near the top of the door. The motor does not increase speed as it reaches the bottom but the window stops stuttering.
Do I need a new regulator or is the window not seated properly?
Power windows btw. I havent honestly used the passenger switch so it could be a driver door switch/power issue.

Another power window issue here.
Driver's window becomes nonresponsive and I must wiggle, lift up, or push down the glass to get it to work again. The working/not working status is not a function of the door wiring.
Anyone dealt with this before?

So my jeep just started doin this yesterday. It got to about 85, and that's the hottest day it's been sense I've owner it, about 4 months. I don't know if that would have anything to do with it but you go to start it and it will crank longer now, sometimes it will try to light off but won't, wait a second or 2 and hit it again, it will crank a little longer but fire up. Once it's running it runs smooth and doesn't have any hic ups. Still getting good gas mileage too. So I don't think it could be the fuel pump, but it kinda sounds like my crank sense might be goin bad? It's always started right up before, until yesterday. What does it seem to sound like to you guys?

Usually only thing that messes them up is oil leaking into them from bad oil filter adapter seals.
And if that happens, you can usually disassemble the starter and clean it out and go on your merry way.
What about the Tips, my man?
