Driver window not working

Happened in the winter and I just thought it was ice or frozen. It's back not moving again I hear window click when I push button for down and up but doesn't move at all. I was thinking motor/regulator any thoughts suggestions. t/u

What model year is your Explorer? If you're definitely hearing the window click, versus just the switch or a relay, then the issue is probably not the rather typical broken wire between the door and cab. You best bet in the case the issue is not electrical in nature would be to remove the door panel and perform an inspection to see what's binding or not working correctly.

Yes it happened in the winter but when i came out for work it was working again, now a couple months later it happened again. You can like here it engage to go down or up but nothing happens. It's the same truck i just put power seats in and was asking about the gr/gy wire with silver wire in it that i am not sure what to connect it with.

Well since i am working from home i went out started it up and the window is working. It did seem to move a little slow at first coming out of weather striping. Could it be due not driving it in a few days and i do have the vent visors that are inside the door making it a little tighter?

Replaced motor/regulator and the front hole is off the back bracket isn't bent in for the foam part. Going to try to use metal part off of old regulator that connects to window. This is a supposed Dorman part...
