I have this same problem and thought it was the switch because it was buzzing when I pressed it. I went to the dealer to get a replacement and he said that he's replaced hundreds of motors, but never a switch. Pig-headed as I am, I ordered the new switch and installed it. Turns out, the parts manager was correct. I'm in the process now of analyzing the job of replacing the motor. I looks like just a few bolts and an electrical connection, but it's hard to tell w/o the manual b/c everything is behind sheet metal once the panel is removed.

Bad switch? Bad motor? Check to see if you are getting power to motor--if so bad motor -- if not may be bad switch Is it the driver's door, or one of the other 3? If it's not the driver's door, try moving the window with either the switch on that door or the on the driver's door. If you have a bad switch, you may be able to move the window with the other switch. If it's the driver's door, you will have to remove the switchassembly and start testing. If I had to take a guess, I'd guess that it's the switch and not the motor, but that's a guess. massvolvoman
