Default Driver's side power window does not work

Been having the problem intermittently for about two years. Happens mostly in the Winter. Saturday night it died fortunately in the up position. I can hear the relays clicking in the door when I press the switch in either direction but no worky.

Is this a common problem?

What is the normal fix?

Mine have never failed. But when stuck, you can unstick them using the Fonzi method. Hold down the buttom and give the door panel a thump like Fonzi thumping a jute box.

Well, I Fonzed it a couple of times. Still hear the relays clicking. Going to pull the panel tomorrow to see if loose connection. If not, to the dealer next week for warranty replacement.

Same thing happened to me (relay clicking but window won't move). It was a bad relay in the door control module. One of the members on here, theradioflyer, offers a repair service for this. I took out the door control module, sent it to him, and received it back in less than a week and a half: problem solved. I don't recall the actual price but it was very reasonable and you should be able to find some of his threads on the matter easily enough by searching.
