This happens to me a lot just on the drivers side. Mine would always fall off the track, I had to take the door panel off and manually feed it up with my hands alittle bit at a time. This is for manual windows, if you have power I'm not to sure.

Your guna have to take off the door panel and unbolt the glass to window regulator. Move the glass all the way up and use tape to keep it there until you find a fix.

Could be your switch, or motor. Sometimes you get lucky and can tap the motor with a hammer and clean out that pesky dead spot

First thing to do would be check the fuses, maybe you popped one ?
If that don't work theres no way to get it up without taking the panel off.
Hopefully it will be a wiring/switch issue, if not it looks like its time for a new motor.

Yea thats what Im going to do. Now here this. Before it went out, i could control it perfectly with the drivers side switch but on the passenger only up not down...

Sounds good, probably a switch issue then, or a short on the passenger side.
I'm pretty sure both windows are tied into the same fuse, so if one works its probably not that.

if you cant hear the motor working (or trying to) then I'm guessing it is the switch (both drivers side and pass)

Maybe try unpluging the switch and use a jumper wire to bypass?
