asked by on May 16, 2017

I have already asked my question here it is again 98 Toyota sienna xle 6 cylinder automatic tranny. 152,000 miles. drivers side front power window. for years now the window will go up intermittingly if u let window most of the way down u have to press button will go up a little wait and repeat several times before it is all the way up. This has been going on for years. Is it the switch I should imagine the motor would have died by now. or maybe regulator. how do I know which it is. without opening it all up. or do u have an idea based upon what it told u. all the others work fine.

My car has 152000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
