- In the sense of the door lock motor - I'd bet a left testicle on it based upon your description of the issue and quite some time in the 12v realm for some 25 years or so.
- The switch could be proven out with a DVOM (digital volt meter), even a basic test light would be better than nothing
- and in the sense of the window motor operating slower, had it been just up i'd lean ever so more towards a worn motor that gets used more than you think. But since you said it was up and down. That makes me want to pull the door panel to check the armature or "regulator" aspect in which since the passenger side switch does work still. You could plug the switch back in and use it to move the window up and down while helping it. Two things you will notice. 1) the cat whiskers [seals around the sides and top of the glass are extremely dry/rotted that a moderate application of some silicone spray sprayed with the accompanied straw (think WD40 straw) in those channels MAY help. But 2) if the motor seems to operate at what would be considered a normal speed or rate by the action of you helping it go up and down. I'd say the motor is tired, and by tired I mean its a "coffin-dodger"... and *IF* the regulator is in proper order and orientation; meaning its not bent, partially lose or disconnected.
- Everything else I'll lump into job description and experience in the field
