It could be the motor, but it also could be the switch, or the wiring. Start buy taking the switch panal out of the door with the wires connected. Test the wires to see if the switch is supplying power out the back, and into the wires, when the switch is pressed. If it isnt, then its the switch, if it is, then you can narrow it down even further by testing the connection at the motor. If power is making it to the motor, than the wiring is good, and the motor could be bad.
Dont forget to always check your fuses for anything electricly related.
This happened in my 98 Riviera. My friend took the switch apart, and cleaned the tiny contacts. Over time, they get a black dust on them and it doesn't work. He said it would last 3 or 4 months, and when it did it again, to replace the switch. I have since replaced the switch.

How do you fix power window on 1990 Honda Prelude motor works fuse is fine why wont it work?
the gears in the power motor may be worn out. If you can hear the motor engage in the window unit but the window will not move up or down then problem is with the gears in the power window motor unit. Most want you to buy a whole new motor but you may go to www.ebay.com and bid on a gear kit for your power window motor (costs a whole lot less) Hope this helps Lis@

It's the switch because the motor is getting power to go up but not down.
