Answer
Hi Daly...

So... since I haven't heard from you in a while, the car and you must be doing well.

As far as the window goes, the motor is shot.  It's obviously getting 12v based on the heat in it and the wires...but it's not moving...it'll have to be replaced.  If it wasn't getting voltage we'd consider the switches, etc.  These motors get a lot of use and they work really hard, so wearing out is very logical.

Take care.

Dave
