Did you try the "Fonzie" move?

Hold the switch up or down, which ever way you need the window to go, then give it good fist bump right about mid way up towards the front of the door. If that makes it work, you need a new motor. Or if you're really handy, simple brush replacement might make it work fine again.......

Theres a trick i did with the 03 i used to have....rev the engine a bit and then just click at the window down or up a lot and really fast, it let loose after a few seconds and went down in my case. I remembered this happend for the first time when the person that bought it from me was test driving it...not a good time for it to happen. if you need more info check out NAM, thats where I found the tip.
