The main components of a power window system are the motor, the regulator, and the switch(es). In your case, the motor is working, which tells you that the switch(es) is/are working. That leaves the regulator., which, BTW, is usually where the problem is when a window does not work properly. The regulator has a cable on it that is looped around the motor gear and attached to the window glass. When you push the switch, the motor gear turns thereby causing the cable on the regulator to move the glass up or down. When this cable breaks, comes off it's track, or one of it's nylon guides breaks, the window will not go up and/or down properly. The repair for this is to replace the regulator. If you are mechanically inclined, you can buy the regulator and install it yourself. Anywhere from about $80-$200 depending on whether it is available aftermarket(your local auto parts store) or from a GM dealer. If you take it to a shop to have it fixed, expect to pay about $250-$400. Good luck!!

If you hear the motor trying to move the window but it's not actually moving you need to have the window regulator replaced.
Electric motors revolve and operate levers that make the window go up or down depending on which way the switch is operated.The levers must have come detatched from the window.
