Default Help.... Window Stuck in Down Postion

I was working on my car with the doors opened for long periods and closed for short periods. It drained the battery. I fully charged the battery... Now the drivers window is stuck in the down position. I hear it clicking when I activate the switch, but it won't go up. The passenger window works fine.I pulled the door panel to make sure the cable hadn't jumped a sheave and even tried to help it as I pulled the switch.
Still won't go up. Any suggestions.

I have seen that caused by a low battery. Charged the battery and all was fine.

I fully charged the battery. With the engine running the drivers window is still stuck all the way down and the passenger window works fine.

OK... I think I found the problem. After the battery died and I recharged it, I was testing by connecting the door panel connection with the door open and trying to raise the drivers window. I could raise and lower the passenger side just fine. After checking everything out and it still wouldn't go up, I decided to hook everything up and reinstall the door panel. I started the car, backed out of the garage and Voila.. it worked. I think that the door has to be closed to reset something like a battery control module or ?? after a discharge.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
