Default Driver side window wont do anything

Hey guys, i just bought a TA a few weeks ago and the driver side window wont go up or down, it wont do anything. Is it a bad motor or something else? I looked at the stickies and the one for the TA window replacement no longer works. Is there any other good write ups for a TA with pictures that you know about. Thanks Guys

You need to check a few things first. Does the passenger side window go down? Have you checked the fuse? Our power window are a big problem. Not only the motors, but the regulator assemblies are garbage and tend to bind up. Check to see if you have voltage to your motors. If so, check the amperage flowing through it while your pressing the button. High amps = mechanical resistance. Low amps = electrical problem. It helps to lubricate the metal slides on the regulator. Don't lube the felt insulation though unless you want a big lithium grease streak on the window when you roll it up

Check also for a loose ground going to the driver side switch. It is the ground for the passenger side too.
