I have a 2009 chevy cobalt lt. Today my front passenger power window just stopped working i pushed it down, and tried to push the button to go back up and it wouldnt budge. now it is all the way down and wont move. we tried many times pressing the button but it is not getting any power to the window. we checked the fuses are fine. no other windows are broken. we checked for relays but we couldnt find any. what do we do. is this a motor problem? is it electrical?

It does sound like the window motor went out, or the main switch is bad, this guide can help confirm the issue, also I have included how to change the motor and switch out to help fix the problem.

I dont know what a test light or meter is. my stepdad said he can remove it. is the motor to the window the actual problem because we are going to order a new motor. how do u remove a door panel?
