Electronic window
My drivers side window on my 95 ext is dying a long slow painful death. Gets slower and slower with each time I use it - I have even had to push it up with one hand while pushing the button with the other just to close it all the way.
Im not a mechanic but not afraid to replace the motor if it is fairly straightforward. Any recommendations?
Just about to post another topic regarding rear heat and ac - could this be related? Perhaps an electrical problem...hmmm...

Power Window Motor, Aerostar
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
NOTE:
On vehicles equipped with EEC, when the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal drive symptoms may occur while the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) relearns its adaptive strategy. The vehicle may need to be driven 10 miles or more to relearn the strategy.
2. Remove the door trim panel. Refer to «Section 01-05A».
3. Disconnect power window motor wire harness connector.
NOTE:
Check inside the door to make sure electrical wires are not in line with holes to be drilled in the door inner panel.
4. Using a 12.7mm (1/2-inch) diameter drill bit, drill two holes in the door inner panel at the drill dimples located opposite the two unexposed motor drive retainer screws.
5. Remove three motor mount retainer screws, using two drilled holes and existing larger hole access to screw heads.
6. Push motor toward outside sheet metal to disengage motor and drive from regulator gear.
7. After the motor and drive are disengaged, prop the window in full up position.
8. Remove motor and drive from inside door.

AEROSTAR HAS A COUNTERBALANCED SPRING. WINDOW MUST BE IN UP POSITION TO REMOVE POWER MOTOR OR BLOCKED TO PREVENT WINDOW FROM SUDDENLY RAISING, CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY.
Installation

Before you do that,I would spray the weather stripping tracks were the window runs up and down,they get dry and hold on to the glass and bind the window so it can hardly move I used silicone lub it stays slippery but drys out
