Had the same problem my self last week. Take a hot wire and a ground and jump out the switch. Changes are the master switch went bad on the door panel. Ken
Maybe its your driver-side window regulator that stopped working.
Probably a bad switch in the drivers door.
cANNOT GET THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW UP, IT IS PARTWAY DOWN AND HAVE TRIED SPRAYING CLEANER IN IT, NO GO. WHAT DO I DO? The switch, or relay, for that window is faulty, or worn out (since drivers window is most used). Replace it.
Well if everything else is working, then the window itself maybe stuck. That maybe the only that could be wrong with it.
There are a couple of reasons why a window won't go up on a 1998 Malibu. The window may be off track or the window motor has stopped working.
Check the drivers side switch panel for the switch that locks out the passenger windows from working, make sure it is not on.
Often the plug in connector at the drivers side switch can becaome loose and break the connection. Remove the switch and check this.
Tell me if just one window or all of them quit working

try removing switch, and jumping the wires, this should raise window with out pulling door apart
You can find the window relay switch inside of the drivers side door. You will need to remove the drivers side door panel in order to access the window relay switch.
The drivers window switch on the master switch energizes a solenoid for the express down feature of the drivers window. The solenoid deenergizes when the window bottoms out causing the thermal overload in the window motor to open. A spring in the solenoid is supposed to break the open circuit and provide power to the close circuit when deenergized. Sometimes the spring gets weak or the solenoid plunger is sticky preventing powering the close circuit. Removing the door panel and diaassembling the master switch is not a DIY. I have had success banging on the arm rest adjacent to the master switch to get the spring to make the close circuit. My guess is the rear window switch gets its power from the same movable contact as the drivers window switch.
