Make sure the lock-out switch on the drivers door is not in the locked position for power windows.
For hand cranked or power windows...if the windows have not been rolled down recently they could just be stuck in the rubber seals. It happens! Try running a thin flexible plastic spatula or the like, around the edge of the windows inbetween the glass and rubber, inside and outside. If that still doesn't help, open the doors and have a helper crank the handle or push the power switch down, while you sandwich the window glass between your hands and push the glass down. Good luck!
I can not stop my car from dinging every time I put on the breaks. The sensor for the top is flashing but i know the top is closed. I need to find someone that knows how to disconnect the wire.
If you can hear the motor running while pressing the window switch you may have a broken clip or something in the way causing the window to slip off track. If no sound comes while pressing the window button you may need a power window regulator motor "OR" the window button itself may need replacing. If the window was down when it stopped working and had to be manually rolled back up, this can cause the glass to randomly fall back inside the door. This is because the car thinks that the window is still down and will continue to fall until it tells the computer that the window was closed using the power window button. If the window falls at just the wrong angle you could end up having to replace the glass as well.
remove the inner door pannel the screws securing it will be in the handel and hiden clips around the edge prise them away with a flat bladed screwdriver, once removed you will see the window glass that has come off its runners, undo the winding mech from its fixings and reposition the glass in its runners, you can lock the glass in the up position with a piece of thin wood or simillar if you cannot fix why it came off its runners,
The contacts on the window switch are most likely burnt. The switch is probably going to need to be replaced. I have taken a few apart and cleaned them up, but, there are a lot of small pieces that WILL fall out once you take the switch apart.
The window regulator has gear teeth on it that connects to a metal track attached to the window glass. The teeth are most likely stripped and the grinding noise is the motor trying to mate to the broken teeth. You need to replace the window regulator and I wouldn't hesitate to replace the motor at the same time. It's a costly fix but worth it to only have to be inside the door once and the motor will have to be removed at the same time the regulator is replaced. If you can reach the glass and pull up on it at the same time you can probably get it to roll up as a temporary fix.
Check the fuses. All electric circuits have a fuse associated. If can't find or fuse is ok, it might have a fusible link. Get a schematic from a repair manual.
