Default Window Stuck

It is the driver side. The passenger side works fine.. I can't get the drivers side up.

Any temporary fix for while I am at school?

Not sure what kind of car you have but guessing its a fox style mustang... My pass. side window gets stuck down all the time. I just punch the door panel while pushing the up button, about 5 good hard times and it rolls up. Sorry wish i could be more help!!??!?!

It worked about 10 min. before when I rolled it down... Motor didn't seem strained or anything..

Let me go out into the parking lot and try what you said

it's a dead spot in the motor, yes you can tap it with a hammer or something and break it loose. the switches can do the same thing. once you get it going run your window up and down several times to try to work out the dead spot, maybe even some dielectric grease in the gear might help. Ultimately, you'll need a new window motor.
