How does the window mechanism works to get the window up and down It has power but something seams to be either broken or disconnected Could it be the cable?

Check the clip fron the window to the regulator. These will break off and you will hear the motor working but the window will not go up or down. You can replace your regulator and motor as one unit for little cost, if broken. You might get away with just replacing the clip to your window/regulator.
