Default Power window Problem!

i dont know if this has ever happen to you all hear but yesterday i was trying to fix my driver side window panel when all there was a tiny spark and i was like wtf? then my door locks and mirror moving thing went out so i switch out the breaker and the fuse to this one and the locks worked again and so did the mirror but my window wont budge and there is no noise coming from either of one i know it not the switch because i took one out of my donor car and checked it with my buddies and it worked fine any ideas cuz i want to roll up my window............and i know for a fact its not my window motors or modulator

when you take the door panel apart do you see any wires arching off of the motor or around the motor. I would start there with the door panel off and just hook up the window switch and try to see if you can duplicate the arch. Could be the motor possibly shorting out

You are going to have to take the panel off and look for a damaged wire, or any wire that got disconnected.

i believe there is a relay that is under the hood but correct me if im wrong. I think the relay under the hood is what makes it go down automatically. I would check the relays
