Hey Steve= the most common problem is for a roller in the linkage to break. It is a big job and someone who knowa how, to repair it. Call your local auto trim shop. GoodluckJoe I had a rear window that did this. I removed the window motor. Now it's a manual window; I have to use my hands to pull it down and lift it up. I don't have to worry about locking my keys in my car although it will set off the car alarm if you roll it down with the car locked; you have to put your key in the ignition to stop the alarm. Of well.
Remove the inside door panel. Push the window track. Upward, until the window is completely closed. Lock the window linkage in place, so the window will not fall down.
I have a 2000 impala and my window came off the track afew times. It's the passenger window and the metal guide in the door is rusted and not as stable as it originaly was. So I took off the door panel and unmounted the speaker to loosen the track bolt at the base of the door and put it back together. The cause of the window falling off the track is when the window half or all the way down and someone closes the door that way. It jars the window inward and then unable to go up all the way. I have yet to find the replacement part or even know how much work it is to swap out. This is what I pay professionals for! A one our job for them can take us up to a day to do.
You should have a mechanic check your window to see if it is off track. If it is not, then they will be able to replace the computer so that your window works.
Possible causes. 1.Bad Fuse 2.Bad Motor 3.Bad Switch 4.Window has slid out of its track If the window rolls up to a certain point but stops then it may have slid out of track and is hitting a rubber or plastic guide. In the event of the window sliding out of its track. This can be confirmed by looking down the seal of the door with a flash light. Try to roll the window up and see if its hitting anything. It may be something else but it seems these are the most likely.
Defective passenger power window switch. It is stuck in the down position. Raise the window and immediately disconnect the switch until you can replace it.Defective passenger power window switch.

bad window motor have it replaced.
I wouls suspect the passenger side switch is defective. Salvage yard is a good source for this part.
Probably need to replace the window regulator.
Possibly needs a window motor or a window regulator.
Probably a weak power window motor or the window regulator is starting to act up

push down on the button at the rear of the door where the window meets.
This would indicate a bad wire or bad master switch.
had the same problem with 2002 montana. Removed master control switch and cleaned up electrical connections. Worked fine ever since.
Bad motor? bad switch?
my car has the same problem only with the passenger side window.....for me it was simply missing a plastic piece that fell off and i lost it try opening the panel and compair it to your passenger side and make sure it is all connected the same way
