Astro Window Opens Half Way
The driver side power window on my 2000 Astro opens half way. The motor keeps running, but the window refuses to open the rest of the way.
The window will close, but after closing, the motor continues to run until I remove my finger from the button.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

knowing absolutely nothing about astros in particular, I'd have to say the likely culprit is the felt lining in the window channels has worn out or turned to goo. It is a common problem in all older vehicles.

Before replacing the motor (Still a possible Culprit) take the panel off (EASY) pull the liner down and inspect the linkage and motor as you open and close. I replaced the Passenger some months back....very easy to do...now my Drivers side is acting up....If I hold on to the button too long while lowering it, it on't go up right away.....it's like a power drain...have to wait for it to (RECHARGE...so to speak) I'll be replacing that one soon. But to be on the safe side order a motor and replace it anyway..mine is a 99.....no harm no foul....
