Default Window Issues

My window stops after a second. I have to push the button over and over so it can inch up as well as down. Is this a fuse issue or the switch?

Definitely NOT a fuse !!!! That's not how fuses operate !!!

I also agree with 100% silicone lubrication into the channels, worked on my 2004 Frontier window.

There is a youtube video on how to clean switch. It could be the switch, I did mine last year as the rear window wouldn't always roll up, and had to press the lock button 3-4 times to get the doors to lock.

I have seen window switches with thermal breakers. When they are overloaded for too, long a bimetallic strip opens up and breaks the circuit.

If you "help" the window by pulling up or pushing down, does it keep going? If yes, probably not a switch problem.
