After trying to start the car on an almost-flat battery which caused all sorts of electrical twitching on the dash/wipers/windows, I disconnected then reconnected the battery and charged it. Started the car, reset the windows due to the disconnect, and moved it across the yard to near the workshop. Tried to shut the driver's window but it was acting as if on half-power (not stuck, just weak). Fiddled with it but then it gave up altogether. I then smelt noxious burning coming from behind the door card so disconnected the battery and got the card off in record time!

The metal housing on the motor was
way too hot to touch and took a good 20 minutes to cool enough for me to take hold of. It stinks.

I replaced the regulator not that long ago and it's been fine (brand new one-touch module) and although it also smells due to being mounted on the motor, it didn't get hot. The mechanism's fine and I was able to close the window manually. Am I correct in assuming it's likely to be the motor which has died?
**UPDATE**The motor resistance measures 5.2 ohms.
Thanks.
