Window Trouble Tonight i had my car out and when i went to get out i kind of slammed my drivers side door. Well i had my window down and when i got back in it to roll it up the window wont move. I checked the connection on the switch and its good. My other window on the otherside works from using it on the drivers side. Could i have another loose connection down by the motor or doing that could have fried my motor? Any help would be awesome please thanks!

I'd guess it's probably just a connection jarred loose down by the motor -- people do have to replace the F-body window motors a good bit, but that's usually as they gradually slow down to the point of barely moving the window... not just from slamming the door, AFAIK!

Its either a loose connection or jammed mechanism.
This thread talks about replacing the motor (which you may not need) but it shows how to remove the door panel and get to the motor:

While you are there:
* Check for any loose electrical connections
* Inspect the regulator and guides (I had a broken guide once)
* Use a multi-meter or test light to make sure power actually gets to the motor when you push the switch (make sure the ignition is turned to ACC or ON first).
