Can you hear anything when you press the button. I would bet the motor in the window went bad. Otherwise the cable in there could have broke.

well i think if all the rest work and you swapped switches its a good chance its the motor i would use a vom and see if you are getting power to the motor if you are good chance its the motor and if not i would start chasing wires good luck

checked the wires and they are all good, so i looked at the motor and it looks like a PITA because the window is down, any suggestions on how to swap motors or get the window up??

the last time i changed a window motor was a few years ago take off door panel and see how its mounted mine had rivets holding it in place i drilled them out and used nuts and bolts to secure it. the hardest part for me was getting the door panel off i hate those clips that hold it on. the new motor will have instructions i picked the motor up at auto zone good luck

Can be common, my dad's F150 had this happen not too long ago.

When you press on the button, you can hear the driver's side relay clicking ?

Here is a thread on removing the motor, and the tire thump for testing.

That is what happened to my '06, and it was dirty switch contacts.

Jack has some nice pictures in his wirte up in the Tech Articles / How-To forum

Those are dirt easy to clean, have a read, and a go at it.

I replaced my switch when it starting acting up some time back, and after that is when I found you can clean them real easy. Save yourself 60.00 by cleaning the contacts.

The OP has a '02, where the motor problem is more common ( but not 100% the problem, just the common problem )
