Hello, Looking for a little brain help on a 2006 Toyota Camry XLE Driver Side Electric Window Trouble. It's my wife's car and she said that the window does not always operate properly. I did a little trouble shooting and determined that when the window is operated frequently (5-6 times) it just stops completely. Have to wait for about 3-4 minutes and then it will work normal............ until. It seems that there may be a "Thermal Overload" sensor that is weak and shuts down the operator. My one question is: where would the Thermal Overload be located?? In the Motor or in some other location. As a alternative question would it be best just to replace just the motor or the entire mechanism?? Then again, is there something else that needs to be considered?? Thanks for any hints or thoughts!! Les

There is no thermal overload device. The motor is just tired and you need a new motor and regulator assembly. There is a current draw limit on the switch for the auto up/down feature but that won't be your problem because it can be bypassed by not fully engaging the switch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Trust me, you have a bad motor. It's a common symptom. Sometimes slapping the inside door panel with an open hand while holding the switch on will trigger it to move. It's going to stop permanently soon. The only time window motors make noise is when the regulator gears are stripped. The switch has 2 positions. The first step is manual operation and the second step is auto up/down. Even if the current draw shuts down the auto up, it will still work manually. Replace the motor with regulator and while doing that spray some silicone spray into the felt window channels so they don't bind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

You might be able to find a motor without a regulator but don't go that route. They wear out too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
