Default power window help!!

I have a 97 accord ex and last year had the window motor replaced. Well it started sticking about half way and I tried greasing the tracks. Its still very slow to roll up and still sticks about half way. Also i noticed that when I pushed up on the button to makesure the windows were closed all the way (I'm ocd about that) my dash lights got dim. Is there a fault in the wiring somewhere? Bad switch? Any ideas?

Sounds more like you need to pull it apart and lube the window channels. The "dim" from the dash is because of the load on the window motor.

So I need to tear everything apart and grease the entire track and that should fix it?
