Hey guys, got a little bit of a problem. About a year ago my window was working intermittently, when I would press up it would automatically start rolling down, then get stuck and not roll up without me clicking the button tons of times, then eventually just got to the point where it wouldn't roll down at all.

I replaced the window regulator for the automatic down switch in the driver side door, and the window then worked perfectly for about a year till recently where it started doing similar things, now I'm at the point with my window stuck up, and when I try to roll it down, I hear a clicking in the window.

I know some people have had somewhat similar problems, but I'm beginning to doubt whether or not I need to replace the window regulator again since it's been such a short time. When I talked to Bill Jenkins the other day, he said he experienced a similar problem in his Mystique, and all that needed to be done was to get some connectors pushed together somewhere in the door???

I was wondering if anyone had some experience with this issue and might tell me where to begin. I don't know if the window regulator is bad, or if I can easily fix my problem by fixing some loose connectors/wires whatever it is (I do have a pretty powerful stereo so maybe it's just gotten rattled over time).

Thanks for your help guys.
 
Had the same issue.

Pull out the master switch and check the contacts where it hooks to the wiring harness. There was one set of contacts that were bent apart on mine causing the window not to work. It's been working fine since.
