This may need to go in the modified section, but I wouldn't qualify this as too modified. I just got an automatic window module, and I installed it as the driver's side "up" module, for automatic up on the drivers side. I followed the instructions at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/296394/22 (I had 2 black/white wires at the motor harness; one didn't do anything, the other yielded the result I currently have). When I press the window up button, the window will go up 2 inches or so (module is working, makes a click noise), and then stop. I repeat this (hit the up button) 3 more times, moving the window up 2 or so inches each time, and then finally, when the window is about 3/4 of the way up, pressing the up button one last time sends the window the rest of the way up (4-5 inches). Does anyone have any ideas of where my wiring went wrong?
 






I wonder if your window guides are in need of lubrification... the module most likely senses when there is a greater draw (window all the way up) and shuts off. Just a guess mind you.
 






Looks like that was it, tried it this morning, and it worked perfect. Thanks!
