My front driver-side window has not worked in a while. I pushed the button the other day and it came down. Unfortunately, that was all the juice it had because I have not been able to let it back up. What might be the problem with my window? And, can I fix it myself or must I take it to a repair shop?

This is going to sound silly but it works alot of times. Open your door and slam it really hard. Then try to see if the window will go up. If it does, then your motor has locked and slamming the door jammed it loose. You can buy the motor/track assy from dorman online, that's the cheapest. And it depends on how mechanical you are whether you can change it or not. The hardest part is getting the door panel off. But you could also have a broken wire where the door opens and closes. That could be checked when you get the door panel off though. It could also be your switch though.
