Soulds like you need to pull the door panels off and check the connections to the motor!

curious if you may have nicked a wire to the motor while installing or removing the old seals..parting it.
you need a meter to check continuity at the switch or to the motor...info below is "stolen from another thread":


The motor is the most common cause. It's a CRAPPIE job to put one in, I'd rather do an opti almost.

But you can get at the connector and put voltage into it to confirm if motor is bad. Or if you can tap the motor with an hammer and see if it will release (to confirm). The bearings usually lock up.

Don’t get you arm caught in the window regulator.

first things...is it fused, and did you check for a blown fuse?
