Well the obvious question would be, is the window lock button pressed on?

Thats what I was gonna say at first. But if thats not the case then look here, this might be your answer
If you don't know how to take off the door panel go into that same site on the how to section.

i had this problem. it turned out to be a bad door to chassis connector on the drivers side. Try pressing the connector in firmly and at the same time, operate the switch.

kind of obvious to, but if you have the door panel off on the passenger side and the window switch is unpluged from the passenger side, you cant roll it down, period. So for it to operate at all, the passenger side window switch needs to be connected.

Your driver's side window switch is probably the problem which is common on FDs. The power feed for the passenger side switch is fed through the driver's side switch. The contacts in the window lock switch are worn. They need to have a little bend in them. Sort of like apex seal springs.

I was able to carefully take mine apart and bend the contacts back and it worked great.

To get your window up, short the contacts on the circuit board under the lock switch and it will work. I cannot remember off hand but I think the wire is purple?
