I just had a little problem with my power window on my 99Xj. Once the driver window was up, the motor would keep going and there was a grinding nose. There is no switch: the motor is supposed tostop with the resistance on the window regulator cable. This is what I figured out and how I fixed it:
Once I removed the window actuator from the motor I notice that the coil cable was damaged at the top position where it meets the gear. I removed the rivet and tab to remove the cable from the lifting unit. I installed the cable back from the other end and put it back. It seems to work for now.
I used the instruction on this web site: http://www.steigerperformance.com/products/sp12001.html
The plastic piece that holds the window in place was in good condition so I hope it will be OK for some time. Cost of the repair 0$.....for now.
