you might have a burned out fuse, no power to the unit (disconnected) or the window fell off at the bottom where the control arm can't reach it anymore meaning someone will have to disassemble the door to put it right.~
Pull the switch panel off. See if there is power to one of the wires. If no power, it could be a fuse or broken wire in the rubber conduit between the hinges. -- An electric window uses the same motor for up or down. It switches the polarity of the two wires going to the motor.
Well put tenspeed. Cant add anything to that.
The fix in an emergency is the following: Pull door panel apart, disconnect power to the window motor, get 2 small wires into the window motor, get 12v power (i used jumper cables from the battery) touch the wires quickly, window will go down or up, if it goes up keep touching the wires until it goes all the way up. Put the door panel back on and do no lower the driver's window until you replace the main window switch.
