Default Driver's side window

Hi Guys,
My driver's side window will not go down. When I press the down button, I hear a click noise. I've heard this complaint before on the Forum, but I don't remember the cause of the problem.

Start by reading my post on this subject.

Basically, with the ignition key on, hold the window down button and slam the door closed real hard a couple of times. That might free up the motor. Unfortunately, this is a common problem.

Probably the window motor is shot! Mine went when the car was relatively new.
Do a search and you will see a lot. Seems to run with GM for some reason.
