99 sd window regulator problem.

Hey all I have a quick question I hope somebody can answer. I have a 1999 f250 crew cab. About 6 months ago my drivers side window quit working in the up position(lucky me) and last week I got around to fixing it . I just ordered a new window motor instead of the whole regulator and installed it and it worked perfect for 4 days and today it suddenly quit again. What would cause a window motor to go out again so quick? Everything else seems to be fine and there is power to it so I'm assuming it's the motor.

Did you check the connections? I dont think it would quit that soon, but anything is possible.

Where is the power to? The switch? Do you get power to both sides of the switch?
It's also possible you didn't get the connector completely plugged in and it vibrated off the motor.
Lastly, yes, it is possible for a motor to go bad in four days. It's possible to get a bad motor right off the shelf. If you are feeling particularly energetic, you could plug it in to another switch or door to see if it will drive.
