Windows and such

There are many window threads -- but none I noticed seemed to have this combination.

1) The passenger window does not lower when the door is opened.
Either from inside or out.
I pulled the door off and swapped the locking mechanism.
Both new and old acted like they both had loose wires as I could hear the latch
engage and disengage, seemingly as I grabbed the connector. I find it unlikely
both latch mechanisms were bad -- and the connector seems solid.
I put it all back together as I didn't have any other spare parts and I was running out
of time that day.

2) I get the two chirp beep and my door locks button is red. Happens often.
I also think I hear the passenger latch mechanism fire from time to time.

3) I came back from a business trip to find the passenger window completely lowered
and the battery drained.

4) I charged the battery and was able to raise the window.

5) tonite, I had the drivers door open and the passenger door was open
and I noticed the passenger window oscillating about 1/2" up and down, about
an 2" below fully closed. I shut the door climbed in the drivers side
and was able to put the window completely up and I think it stopped hunting.


I'd like to dive in and fix this -- but I'm not sure what I am looking for?
Is this a window regulator? One of the micro switches if so which one?

Any "tests" I can do to narrow it down?

thanks,

Mike
