The driver side window doesn't work all of the time. No apparent pattern noticed. Sometimes on the express up feature, the window will go approximately half way up and stop, then you have to fiddle with the switch and it will go the rest of the way. Sometimes the window won't open or close and then a few minutes later it will work fine. Dealership stated that all the wires looked fine. All other windows work fine from the driver's control and at each individual window switch.

Have it scanned or was it at dealer? It may be a network bus problem, serial data problem with that particular switch.

Thank you for your response to my question. I'm not sure what you mean in the first sentence. Is the network bus problem you refer to the same as the body control module?
My local GMC dealership doesn't seem to have much knowledge or troubleshooting solutions. Your help is greatly appreciated!

A network bus is where different signals are sent through the same wire to operate the system like a temp sensor and oil pressure sensor sending through the same wire. It should be scanned to see if any codes are present first. If the dealer isn't to bright then see if any service garage can check it for you.
