My driver window just started acting hinky…Sometimes will work, sometimes not.
Sometimes if I slam the door a few times i'll work, sometimes not.
I have no binding/resistance and no jumping track.

Think it's a fluky electrical connection, or the motor??
Any tips?

Hinky???

Hinky is as hinky does (say that with your best Forest Gump voice).

Somebody recently posted about windows not working (Coastie maybe???). IIRC it ended up being a relay behind the kick panel on the drivers side. That would be my best guess.

Could very well be the motor gears binding. You can pull the door panel and get it in a non-working condition then with the switch engaged tap on the motor with a hammer or a wrench. If it starts moving it's the motor gears binding and then being jarred free. The problem with intermittent failures is you can never get them to fail when you want the to. I think it is likely after many years of our motors struggling against misalignment and friction that the gears, bearings, and bushings will be worn and allow for binding. To do this test is free however, Tom's suggestion to replace the relay may be a better first troubleshooting step since it is easier and relays are cheap.
Let us know what you find out.
