Default driver side auto window not working and beeping sound

I tried a search but nothing really helped me. Alright so i have a 1998 firebird formula and about a week ago i noticed that my driver side auto window button stopped working. So now i have to hold down the button witch is no big deal, but when it gets to the bottom and i release the button there is a beeping sound coming from like behind the gauge cluster. Any help would be appreciated.

You probably have a bad express down module. It lives in a pocket on the side of the trans tunnel under the dash. When you say "the button" doesn't work, do you mean the express down feature?

You'll have to get it from a dealer. An online dealer like gmpartsdirect will save you a ton on these. They are rare both because the car is old and people buy them up for adding the feature to the passenger side door. I purchased mine a couple of years back for $35 but it looks like they are up by $75 now.
