Window Jammed/ Just Replaced the Regulator

Okay, When I replaced my regulator (using Craig's How-to)all the wires were really just messed up, so I replaced it using the original motor and harness, but now it's jammed or something. It's a big Pain in the @ss but I can't figure out what's wrong....Could it be the motor, cuz I did get impatient and accidentally broke one of the screwholders Or should I check for stray things rumblin around in there?

Make sure that the window is in the rubber tracks on each side of the door. I originally made that mistake, and the windows would only roll up half way. I had to disconnect the regulator/motor, and reseat the windows so that it was in the tracks.

I did the exact same thing. It's easy to get the window slightly off in the tracks and makes you wet yourself cuz you think you effed up.

It's possible that you got the window mount on wrong... it will make the window hard to move up and down. I would take it apart and reinspect your work. Also, do you hear the motor kicking in when you flip the switch?

Does the window motor sound like it's straining when you try to move the window?

I went out again, and it worked fine and crapped out, so i took out the regulator/motor, and the regulator wasn't moving, and I went through process of elimination, and the motor isn't turning any more
