My drivers side front window sometimes won't roll up or down with the switch. Its got power windows. If i push the window down with my hand then it will work fine. It used to just do it once in a while but now its every couple of days. Any ideas of whats wrong?

No motor noise at all, until I push the window down and then it actually starts moving.

^ Sounds like your window motor and/or regulator is messed up.

Its a common problem on Camry's.

Look on eBay for a new one.

what year is it?

on the new ones , ive been told the regulator has a way of working its way loose and blowing fuses and cutting wires.

Id take apart the door panel befoe buying anything.

Brujo: I was going to say reboot.

Agreed, actually sounds more like a connectivity problem if it comes and goes. May be just a broken wire or messed up switch. I do not think its the motor. Time to figure how to take the door apart.

Believe me I've had enough fun taking that damn door apart. Oh well I guess one more time can't kill me

I have a 1993 Camry and mine used to act funny like that and now it just blows fuses left and right I checked all the door panels and couldnt find any shorts.. anyone know where else a short could be?
