Thump the inside door trim really hard near the center as you hold the switch down. Tell us if that worked.

Have you tried the rear controls?
Any recent work done to your back doors, ie speaker install?

tried the rear controls....nothin....thumped the door trim area while holding the switch...nothin. i honestly dont know what would have caused it. the control panel gets wet in the rain of course when you open the door. but everyones does that. and i drive the car through the river a little fast from time to time when its dirty but other than that i never mess with it.

Its not the switchs if neither work. It has to be something in the drivers door. Either the connection or the control module itself?

Do you hear anything when you move the window switch?
A click/buzz anything even for a short split second?

I just got mine fixed yesterday. The Same window, the driver side
rear. It would work most of the time but last week just stopped.
When I hit either switch I could hear a buzz noise. Took it to the
delivershop and they replaced the window motor regulator.

Id remove the panel, then check the connections going to the window motor, seems like that could be the culprit, use some electrical cleaner on the connections. If that doesn't work, It may be the motor itself, ofcourse you could test the connections to see if you actually have juice going to the motor.
