Power Window Failure - Drivers side

Hi

On what appeared to be the hottest day of the week, my drivers side window failed to work.

This implies:
Fuse is OK since the power window on the passenger side works
Relay is OK since the power window on the passenger side works


I can clearly hear a clicking noise when the button is pushed to lower the window. I believe this means it is receiving power.
There is no movement on the drivers side window.

I took off the door panel, not sure what to do next,
any ideas?

Sounds like a bad window motor to me. You can try tapping on the motor but that probably won't work. If you have power from the switch to the motor that should be the issue.

Scrap yard would be your next best bet or find someone parting out a car now.

I'm not a tech but have been working in dealerships since I was 14.

Interesting enough, the power window has been working perfectly fine for about a week now..
Perhaps tapping on the motor resolved the issue, for now..
