Driver side window used to roll up almost all the way and down. Then it quit going up but could be pulled up manually. Then when the button was pushed u could hear the motor and a clicking noise. Now I push the toggle and nothing. No movement, no humming, no clicking, nothing.

Yep, the window regulator and motor need to be replaced, the gears stripped out and not allowing the window motor to operate. Here is how the job is done. I would get the replacement motor and regulator together already because there is a strong spring that when you remove the motor will release which can cause an injury. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
