You have to pull the inner door panel off first, to do anything with the window. This is the hardest part of the work, the rest is fairly easy. Once you can see inside to the window motor and regulator for the window, maybe you can see what is wrong with it. Try pushing up on the glass while working the regulator arms to see if you can raise it.
While the panel is off, use jumper wires from a spare battery set down by the door to see if the motor is good. Pull the two electrical connectors off of the window motor to hook up the jumper wires. If nothing happens, try reversing the jumper wires: this is how power goes into the motor depending on the switch position being up or down. The motor can take power from either post, while the other post serves as the ground wire. If the motor is not working, it can be removed with the regulator assembly all as a unit. If the window motor works now with real juice, you have a problem in the switch or the wiring, as ray suggests, right in the door opening.

SOURCE: My 1999 plymouth voyager mini van has power

Hi, I have a 2002 Chrysler voyager (UK) which had the same problem with the drivers window. This issue went on for over 2 years, and I even bought new window runners from the US but still had issues! I have now fixed the problem. The bushes in the window motor had worn to a degree that contact got weaker until no contact was being made at all. I stripped the moter down (easier than I thought) and replaced the brushes at a cost of aroung £5 ($8), now the window is functioning better than it did when I bought at 2 years old, plus I did the same to the passanger window and that improved too. I hope this helps, if you require further info on stripping the motor and removing/replacing it please let me know. ([email protected])

My 1992 Buick regal ltd 2 door coupe's driver's side window is stuck in down position.

Most of the time this is caused by a driver's side master switch issue. See this post on how to test and determine whether it's the switch or the motor

Rear window will not close

If the master switch will open and close the windows and the rear switches open them, won't close them, replace both rear switches.

Window wont raise

If its automatic, and all other windows raise with the button panel on the drivers door, then your problem is the motor within the door that raises or lowers the window. Easy quick fix.

If manual, the window probably got stuck and is jammed up within the door and needs to be bumped or put back on the track.

Driver side windows will not operate in the front or back. Passenger side windows do operate.

It sounds like you have a switch problem in your door panel.if you can raise the window in the rear with the switch but not from the front then suspect the switch in your drivers door panel. If neither window will open with the switch in either door panel, still check your drivers door panel switch.you may try running power to the motor by itself with a jumper wire from a known 12v lead from the battery if you can and see if the windows will raise and lower without using the switch.
