tried all of these except this sensor `thingy` . where is it????
also when switch is activated motor gets hot.
When front windows are fully open or closed and you try to open or
close them again there is a click as though it stops power going to
them to prevent any overload.
This does not happen on rear windows, the longer you keep your finger
on switch the hotter motor gets.

Odd. If it's getting hot, one would assume it's getting power. I would
have expected the fuse to blow, so it's probably worth checking that
someone else hasn't put in a much higher one.

Again, if the motor is getting power, there must be something physical
jamming the regulator.
