Most likely the Exterior Door Switch Pad, GM #22751230. Available from Cultrag (Forum vendor) for ~ $15. You can also try disassembling the existing one & clean the connector contacts; reassemble the connector with a bit of dielectric grease on the contacts. If that fails, replace the switch pad.

i have the same problem for the past year......it is not my dd so I have dealt with it.

I swapped the pads, i swapped the motors in the pillar, checked the latches, i disconnected, cleaned and inserted with dielectric at the BCM still no go. First my pass side went out, then the driver side. I get the same window indexing, and clicking, but no open. No codes, no other issues. frustrating, but problem for another day. let me know what you find
