Wiggle the wires where they go through the door jam to the door.
When you hit the switch do the lights in the car dim?? If so It could be a broken regulator spring. The motor does not have enough strength to raise the window without the spring.
If all of the above prove negative. check the connecting to the motor.

Bang on the door panel at the same time hold the switch. It may come up.
If you need to remove the door panel check the wires where they plug on the motor. The prongs on the motor get corroded and don't make good contact. Take a file and clean them put the plug back on and try it.
