Re: power windows

I've had the same problem with a few of my past vehicles. It's normally the motor that's going. However, the car I'm driving right now also has power windows and the driver's window click - sort of sticks even - between the three quarter way closed point when being rolled down and being rolled up. I've been told by modding buds that the problem is most likely a loosened part. If it were me, I'd take it to my mechanic and ask him about it. That's probably something they see all of the time and can diagnose quickly. Autoshop workers may even be able to determine the problem. Good luck man.

Re: power windows

It may be that the window is binding at the guides. That would make the thermal switch overheat and perhaps produce the clicking should you mention.
The guides are shown in the following link:
