A year ago my power window on the driver's side started acting up, rolling half-way up, then after a pause rolling up completely. One day it was stuck on the open position and I had to run a wire from the battery to power the motor to completely rollup. It is now stuck in the up position. I tried to replace the Master window switch, but that didn't work. Except for the Driver's window, the power locks, and other windows works from the master switch. What could it be? Also, is the driver's window locked in the up position a criteria for failing the Virginia State Safety Inspection? Thanks

Replace the motor. As far as I know, window position has nothing to do with passing/failing a state inspection.
