Out of nowhere I went to roll my window up and it wouldn't go up! It will go down but not up. It just started doing this ! I always had problems with passenger side window working right but never the drivers side ! Is it just a part I have to get or something else! If you could tell me what part I'm sure my fiancé can replace it please help me thank you

This is just my opinion. As far as window motors, usually, the driver side window motor goes out first, because you use it the most. I'd have to check voltage at the driver door window motor when going up. Usually not much load on the motor to lower window, there is more load when you raise the window. I haven't looked at your wiring diagram, yet.

I looked at your window wiring. For up, the dark blue wire is voltage, the brown wire is ground. Because the motor is reversing motor, voltage and ground circuits switch, depending if your going up or down.

Good voltage and ground for the motor should rule out window switch, then check window linkages, last but not least window motor.
