A bad switch on the driver's side control for that same window can
also cause this problem, so try swapping that side too.  Also,
check the wires that runs through the rubber accordian in both door
jambs for breakage.  Lastly, you can remove the door panel and inspect
the window regulator for damage.  The glass carrier may have broken
off the cable.
