A window motor supplies the drive that moves the regulator and door glass when you press the switch. A window that moves slowly, stops partway or won't respond may mean the motor needs replacing, but the switch, fuse and regulator can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.
