Power Window Motor Replacement

I just replaced one of the window regulators (motors) in my 2003 Chevy Malibu. The part was from 1A Auto which claimed it was an OEM part. The window worked a few times and then stopped.None of the other windows would work either. I read in the user's manual that the windows operate on a circuit breaker instead of a fuse so I allowed it to "cool down" for a about 20 minutes. I was able to roll the driver's window down a few inches and it again stopped. The cooling down period doesn't seem to solve the problem just yet. It sounds like that OEM part wasn't genuine. Can I replace the circuit breaker and "start over?"

before you replace the circuit breaker you need to test it and see if it is bad. a bad circuit breaker can result in all windows not working so replacing it will solve the problem. visit the link below for testing instruction.
