Neither, probably be the switch.
The window motor is attached to the window regulator by screws. After removing the door trim you must detach the regulator from the door by drilling-out four rivits. Then remove the screws from the old motor and install the new motor. Re-attach the regulator with bolts and put the trim back on the door.

It is most likely a broken window regulator or bad electric motor. Don't know about the cost of the motor but the regulator will run $40-$70 + labor to install.
Simply purchase the window motor first. Unbolt the other window motor that needs replacement then mount the new one into the correct position and bolt the place.

The cost isin't to great, but, the pain comes with the installation. Drilling the rivets,removing the window,removing the window regulator,then the window motor and then replacing it all back to where it was. Expect a few cuts and scrapes....
It does not matter, the motor will continue to turn either way until stopped by the window regulator.
How to remove the window motor from the regulator
Window motor and regulator are found inside of the door panel and may be bolted or riveted in. Should be bolted. Disconnect the window from regulator, take out reg. and motor, then disconnect regulator from motor, reconnect new motor to regulator, reattach those inside of the door, then reconnect the window to the regulator, put it together and see if it works.
