It may be as simple as the connector to the window regulator motor.....or it could well be the window regulator cable has frayed and is now jammed.
That 2nd scenario happened to mine. I had to replace the regulator.

Good Luck

I'd put money on a frayed or broken cable if the motor runs but does not engage the regulator mechanism.

This is what my replacement regulator looks like.





I have included the instructions for replacing in this thread

With light pressure and holding the switch up the window goes down halfway. When I turn the switch to pit it down it goes up but won't go down.

Unfortunately, you are likely going to have to remove the door panel to see what is going on. That way, you will hopefully see what is causing the issue.
Here is You Tube Video of that process


As a side note: Once you unplug the regulator connector, and reconnect it, the window will not work with the door open. It will have to be closed to work correctly, and possibly re-indexed. (I can't remember for sure) Once the re-indexing is completed, the window will operate again with the door open.
