Car Problems (electrical)

for some reason i cant seem to get my driver side window to roll up. out of the 4 windows the driver side is the only one that is having problems. i could take the door apart, but I'm not sure what i would be looking for. does anyone have any suggestions? maybe some one has gone through the same thing and was able to fix it, without spending money. if it helps its a 2006 DODGE STRATUS. thanks

pull the switch, make a jumper wire and test the motor, if it moves, replace or disassemble and clean the switch, add more silicon grease

If there is no sound coming from it, it could be a fuse or the motor. If there is sound coming from it, it could be the motor or the track. There could be other things but most commonly these.

so my best bet would be to take of the panel and look for something that doesn't seem right? i don't have mech. knowledge but i do have common sense, kinda.
there isn't any noticeable noise and the window was working fine last night. is there a fuse for each window or does one fuse work for all 4? I'm thinking it might just be off track. i don't see how the motor could have burnt out since its a 2006.

motor = always electrical
remove the door panel, remember dont force anything, if it doesnt come freely there's a screw in it, except for the door clips, I'll explain these now. you'll remove about 5 screws, from the door, look around they hide well. after the screws are out take a flat screw driver and slide it under the door panel, pry it out and the clips will release.
in the door panel you'll find wires running to a switch, remove the wires, the clips can be tricky so check it over so you dont break it, using a piece of spare wire strip about 1/2 inch of the sheath from both ends and twist the wires, probe around in the socket you just removed with the bare wire ends and listen in the door for the motor to move.

blankk said to fee: btw you're a total fucking psychedelic pimp Turtletotem said: I want to become a sun worshipper, so next time an atheist smugly asks me where god is, I can point smugly at the sun and laugh my ass off. Then I drive away in my solar powered piece of shit car, cool stuff man. And then I go kill a bitch because the flaming orb in the sky told me to do so, and I don't know, oppress a few minorities here and there in the name of nuclear fusion? Religion is fun.

yeah I'm hoping it will be simple cause i really don't have the money to fix anything. Ive been so paranoid as well. i look outside every 10 minutes to make sure some ass hole isn't paying back some karma that is owed.
