Driver side electric window went down and wont come back up. Initial investigation shows that switch engages but does not reverse. Will I need a new switch or new motor?

I would check that the switch is actually switching power to the motor, the switch will change the polarity of the feed to the motor, this is what changes the direction of the motor.
