1)take the access pannel off from inside and inspect it to see if there is anything obiously wrong.
2) while your in there start probing for 12v. if one of your "safty" switches craped out it wont let you put the window down. (ie if all else fails hot wire the motor and see if it will go down)

It could be the switch itself, the one that makes the window go up and down. Does it work with the key? If it does, then it's probably the switch.
I sprayed some electrical contact clean right on the switch and turned and it on and off very quickly. All my problem was the contacts. It's works fine now.

hey everybody, thanx, the window would go up but it would not go back down. i will try some troubleshooting this weekend but it was weird that it went up. would the saftey switches allow this to happen? im thinking the relay, but this is a complete guess. looking for a bit of direction before i start to tear into it. thanx again!
