THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW STOPPED GOING UP AND DOWN. THE BUTTON SEEMED STUCK AT FIRST (NORMALLY IT TILTS FORWARD AND BACKWARD WHEN IT'S WORKING PROPERLY) I NOTICED ONE DAY THAT IT WOULDN'T GO EITHER WAY AT FIRST AND AFTER TINKERING WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES IT SEEMED TO START TILTING AGAIN BUT THE WINDOW (DRIVER FRONT) STILL DOESN'T COME UP OR DOWN. ALL OF THE REST OF THE WINDOWS WORK FINE. THE SWITCH IS A 4 BUTTON SWITCH

Thats called the window module, try this, open your drivers door so the dome lite is on with the key on so the windows operate and engine off, push the window switch while looking at the dome lite. If it dims while pushing the button, power is going through the switch and the motor is bad, if no dimming is noticed the switch is bad
