95 Oldsmobile cutlass ciera sl drivers side window will go down but not up if you walk away for a minute or two and come back you can get the window to go up about an inch and then it stops but if you repeat the process you can get the window to go up all the way with repeat cycles.

http://www.autozone.com/.../repairInfoPages.htm The problem could be in the switch itself or the motor...but it does sound like the switch since there is no problem with it going down....heres a link with some info on testing it...LOL.

Then I suggest a motor would be the next step.

The window motors in these years of GM are well known for this exact problem. Gravity helps the motor go down; on the way up, it’s all motor that has to do the work. When the motor begins to fail, it draws more current (amperage) then what the internal breaker switch can handle and it trips open. After a few minutes the motor & breaker cools and the motor again lifts the window; until the breaker trips again.
The motors are riveted together and I’ve never tried to repair one but they are relatively inexpensive to buy and not worth the effort to repair; just replace it.
