Window Stuck Down - No "Click"

I know there's quite a few threads on stuck windows, I went through most of them, but couldn't figure out what to do when there is no click sound. Seems like everyone had the click sound, what's the solution when there isn't one?

Since it's stuck in the down position I need to figure out something quick. Thanks for any help!

Edit: I should also mention it's the driver's side.

Yes, passenger side window still works fine from driver side control.

Slamming door or banging on it hasn't worked so far.

Now the lock on the driver side doesn't work using the door control panel, any chance that's related? Passenger window/lock still works using driver side control.

if i am reading this correctly, the drvr side window is stuck down and the driver side lock will not lock?

if so i am thinking that you have a contact or power problem in the master driver side switch. be careful removing it from the door these things are fragile. i would remove the switch and clean with electric parts cleaner and operate the switch to clean the contacts and plug it back in. i repaired 2 like this today in other GM vehicles.

Did you check the wires where they go from door to car? Pull back the accordian and check the wires at the connector. One may be pulled back a little.

This ended up being the issue. Wiggled the accordian a bit and it started working fine, I'll just have to check the connections.

Appreciate the help, I love this forum.
