just because it works now n then doesn`t mean the motor hasn`t gone bad. my 98 would get a second wind every so often and decide to work ...then not at all etc etc. replaced motor and it worked fine.

Buy a new car or upgrade to manual windows.

Also replace your window motor aluminum magnet and flush out the headlights fluid.

Should work fine then.

And the fuel pump, common occurrence with the windows not working on EKs.

do a basic deductive diagnostic. work from one end of the circuit to the other and check grounds. unplug the motor from the harness and run from a straight 12 volt source. if it works fine then move up the harness to the fuse block, fuses are good so move up the harness more to the momentary switch. If the motor works off the harness and the fuses are good the switch is likely worn enough to only work intermittently of not at all. a 12v dc electrical system is very simple to diagnose. all else fails call me and ill fix it for $50...
