Talking Window Help!

The other day my drivers side window simply stopped working. I replaced the motor in it a few months ago and i'm pretty sure its not the motor. I've pulled off the door panel and everything seems to be connected properly. The passenger side works fine however. I'm not sure what to look for or do next? Thanks for the help

Test the switch with a multi-meter or a test light to make sure you are getting power to the motor. If the switch isn't allowing power through, test the wires to make sure power is there.

Check the wires that go to the switch. If they dont have power, then the problem is further down the line. If they do have power, then its a faulty switch. This may sound dumb, but make sure that the ignition key is in the "ON" or "ACCY" position. Otherwise there wont be any power there anyway.
