drivers or passenger side?

check the switch first...those get gummed up and you can normally take them apart and clean the contacts..

you can also apply 12 volts to the connector going to the motor. see if it moves. switch polarity and it will go the other way. if it does that then the window regulator is good...

if its bad, contact russ  he knows a guy who sells them with a warranty. i got one from him.

Thanks for the link apparently the connection had loosened and the contacts fell out. Luckily I had a spare drivers side switch just snagged some out of there. Any tips on aligning the window I loosened some bolts when trying to figure out how to just get it up. Thanks again.
