Intermittent window problems

Searched forum exact problem not found. 2002 pass. side window intermittently stops, won't go up or down with either riverside window switch or pass. side window switch. Leave it alone for a day or two and it works. Checked wiring harness, elect power, grounds, etc. all seem fine. By accident found that if you grab the window and pull up and down, it starts working again. Did this several times and it always starts working until it doesn't. Is there a electric contact that moves up and down with the window? Where do you all think the problem is before I tear into it? Thanks very much.

Does it seem to hang up at the same spot? May be dirt or grime build up in the track.

No, the hang up seems random.

Pull the panel. Mine acted looney b4 and with panel off, saw the wires broke/freyed from how ford ran the loom. The window actually was cutting it

Solved I think. Did what timmyboy76 suggested and found loose wire in the male plug-in where it plugs into the motor. You could wiggle it with the window switch held down and the window would stop and go. Ordered a pintail from NAPA. Thanks everyone.
