If the cable is off the pulley, the window regulator is toast. You may be able to get it back on, buy you're wasting your time. It will just come off again. Replace the entire regulator
The cable has slipped off a guide or is broken. The regulator is toast. Replace it. Here's a post on how to do it.http://www.ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/repair-topics/window-power-repair/replace-a-power-window-motor-regulator
To fix a rear power window on a 1999 Saab, the door panel will have to be removed to gain access to the power window motor. If the window is not working properly, it is either the motor or the cable.
Fixing the cable on the power windowThere is no way to fix the cable, you'll have to get a new power window regulator. You can get them from lot of different places. I got mine from eBay for $75 with the motor but you can get it for aroud $50 without the motor. It seems to be around the same price everywhere I've found it.
The window motor drives a cable witch is routed around a couple of pulleys. The cable may have come off of one of the pulleys or the cable may have broken. The repair is very involved and should not be tried by anyone not familiar with window regulators.

You can remove the door panel. And there are 3 star bolts that hold the power window motor. Once you remove the motor you can remove gear cable from motor and pull up the window by hand. That is the only way I know of. I had two motorcables brake on me.
You need to go to a parts house and get a power window regulator as it can NOT be fixed.
power window motor removal 93 sunbird
Remove the driver side panel remove loosen the three bolts holding the motor in place, lower the window by hand till you can see the two bolts that hold the window to the raising/lowering mechanism remove the bolts completely, then reach up from bottom and squeeze the bushings out the window sit on a ledge on the raising/lower bar which is entirely plastic... be careful not to force anything or the window will shatter the power window motor and cable should be replaced unless the trouble is just the motor but if the window moves even a little the trouble is likely in the cable system that is part of the motor assembly.

how to replace1994 grand drivers side power window motor
it depends on what dealership you go to. some say yes others say no. you dont have to change the motor, you just have to find a way to get such the regulator and or cable. No, the power window module is not servicable; you have to replace the whole thing.
Check power to window switch. Common cause. Check power to window motor. If none then check fuses/relays.
