Lexus ES 330 Window Problem

Driver side power window is in open position (all the way down) and won't go up. When trying to hold the button to let it go up, there is no motion nor noise. All other 3 windows are working fine.

Typically this is caused by an arced switch contact but with a car as new as yours there is likely a computer involved. They usually have internal relays that can also get arced contacts. To verify everything else is working and to get the window up, you can take the door panel off, disconnect the window motor, and switch the two wires by using clip leads to connect the terminals. The window should go up when you press the "down" button.
