Remove the door panel, place a piece of wood (like a 1x2 or 1x3) under
the window riser.
This will hold the window up.

Unplug the wires that go to the motor. Hook a multimeter up to the wires
and see if you are getting power to the motor.
Run power to the motor itself and see it works. This should at least
pinpoint where the problem is.

Another thing to try is to unplug one then the other switch and see if
disconnecting one of the switched fixes the problem. If it does you have
a bad switch.
