Default Window stuck

My windows have been sticking lately cause of the cold weather. So today my drivers and passengers side windows just barely cracked open when I hit the button, but they both went down without anything out of the ordinarly happening, beside a little sticking at first. A few hours later I drive to the store and the passenger side window won't go down. I let the heater blow on if for 30 min while I was driving, still nothing. No motion what-so-ever. The relay and fuses are fine, window worked perfect before this, I still hear a "click" in the door when I hit the button, and the relay clicks too. But it won't budge. Should I just wait til the weather warms up and see if it moves? Or does anyone think I burnt the motor up? I didn't hear or smell anything funny.

id wait on it. if it doesnt budge id say its fried. i think the reason they get so slow in the winter time is that grease they use on the gears thickens up real bad in the winter time also sometimes the windows get iced in at the top of the door. you could see if freeing the window at the top helps the motor at all.

Actually (before I read Argons reply) I used Argon technique. Well, sort of.

I just got really mad the next day when i was screwing with it, so I slammed the door and stomped back into the house. Next day the woman pushed the button and it went down without so much as a hiccup. Lol.

Thanks fot he replies tho!

my passenger window used to do that or it would go really slow, now the button doesn work at all and to put it up or down you can jsut slide it with your hands without even hitting the button, is that the motor too?

If it is off track it would do that, but you figure it would at least make some kinda sound when you hit the button.
