Recently, I had an issue with my window going up and down only in 2” increments. I took apart the window, removed the window sliders, and tested to see if the window would still go up/down in increments, which it did. I’m not sure what I should do next as I believe the sliders aren’t going to fix anything.

Before I took apart the window, I cleaned all the old grease and put new grease where the sliders are as well as put grease on all the moving parts of the scissor mechanism.

The regulator looks straight and doesn’t appear to be bent either. With the window out, the scissor mechanism is able to go those 2" increments much quicker, but that 2" increment issue is still there. It doesn't appear to be binding to anything. I have a feeling this might be some sort of electrical issue, but I don’t know where to start with that.

Help would be greatly appreciated :)

Have you tried to reset the window by holding the button down and holdi8ng it in the down position when the window is fully down for at least 10 seconds, release the button and then hold the UP button down and keep holding it down once the window gets to the top, hold it down for another 10 seconds then release. This needs to be done with the ignition on but engine not running. Cycle the ignition at the end and then test to see if the reset worked.
