When I replaced the window motor in my Navigator I went through a helluva dick dance trying to get it to behave properly. It kept going down or half-way up no matter how many times I followed the programming procedure. When I finally broke down and read the shop manual I discovered that there is a de-programming procedure that you must do first so you may want to coon around and see if there is a similar procedure for your car.
