need more info, can you hear the motor running? Could be loose connection, bad switch, bad motor. When it was working, was it moving slowly? Could be a sign of a motor going. Ive seen in some cars that a really dirty run channel prevented a window from moving at all. You can try spraying silicone in the Window tracks to lube it.

maybe your switch came loose or maybe the motor is going out while you are trying to roll the window down kinda beat on the door panel and see if it kicks in worth a shot

was messing with it last night. I believe it is the motor getting stuck. I had the door panel off and hit the motor with the handle of a screw driver and it started working

I had to replace mine last night. Autozone had the motor for $42 with a lifetime warranty. Mine was working fine then one day just totally quit.

BTW, one other thing you can do to make sure it is the motor is to stick a volt meter on the plug that plugs into the window motor you should get 12 volts when you press the window button (or negative 12 when you pull it up or vise versa)

Get some White lithum grease and spray the tracks down and the gears (arms) whatever you want to call them anything coming out of the motor - mine done this two winters back i keep it lubed up now and it hasnt went out any-more (had to beat it a couple times to make the window come back up tho)
