Why is my driver side power window not working

The driver side window is stuck halfway up. It will not budge at all even when we tried to push it up. All else is working. There is not sound coming from the door when we use the power window button.

Tough to diagnose without being there but from my experience it sure sounds like either a bad window switch or bad window motor. Using a 12 Volt test light, try to determine if either of the 2 wires at the window motor receives power when you use push the window switch. If theres power at those 2 wires when you push the switch you probably have a bad motor. If not, then your switch is probably bad. A third but less likely possibility is that the window regulator is jammed. However,
you would hear some sort of sound from the motor trying to move the glass. You said you heard nothing. Hope this helps.

To put window up manually remove door panel reach inside door push bottom of window up while pushing button. If the problem started after working on driver's door the problem is likely in driver door. I had the same problem and it was the motor in driver door.

make sure power windows lock out switch on driver side not on position, that will cause power windows not work or you have faulty power window relay.

2001 Jeep Cherokee: Passanger side hood latch is stuck

try pushing down on that side of the hood when you pull the lever (takes 2 people, or 1 with 4 9ft long arms). Keep holding the lever while you release the center latch and lift the hood. I can't promise it'll work, but it usually does. sometimes you have to play with it a while.

1990 maxima Drivers side window, will power down but won't go back up

Check the cable that lifts the window. If the cable is frayed or twisted and stuck the window will not work.

If this is the case the window regulator assembly must be replaced. It contains the bracked and cables that operate the window. It cost about $100.

I replaced all four on my 1990 maxima.
