Does the driver switch work for the other windows still?

If so, more than likely this is just the window switch on the driver window up button.

However, it could be the motor but I would start with pulling the door panel off and measure voltage on both wires when pressing the up and down button. If you are getting voltage then the motor is the issue. If no voltage when pressing up, the switch is the issue.

Keep in mind the way this works, is there is power applied to one side of the motor going down and the other side to reverse it and go up. So just make sure you check both wires in each direction. They should be opposite of each other in each direction.

Let me know if you have questons. Thanks.
