Electrical problem
2001 Oldsmobile Silhouette 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 135k miles

My driver's side window very suddenly stopped going up or down, about 5 minutes after I had last used it w/ no problem. Passenger window works fine, except that the driver's side switch only puts it down, not up, which has been a problem for a while. No clue how to figure out what's wrong. Please help.

I would be inclined to call a left window switch for the age of the vehicle I would check to see if you have power in and out of the switch. You could have a broken wire in the passthru boot from body to the door
