if its not making any noise then probably the window regulator motor is broken...if it is making noise, then prolly its off the track. simply remove the door panel and see whats happening in there.

which window is not going down and which switch did you replace?

Often people will have problems with the passengers window and replace the passengers switch , when the driver's switch (the one that provides power and ground to the passengers switch) will be the problem.

You didn't even check the 30 amp power window fuse to see if it was blown before putting in a new switch???

To test the power at the switch you will need to get out a digital -multi-meter and check to see if there is 12V+ on the Black/red wire (when the key is on) and ground on the solid black wire.
