its probably the amplifier for the window motor. They go bad all the time, there like 100$ from nissan, or you can buy them from a junkyard for dirt.

Have you tried holding the door open and then trying the window? Sometimes the wires weaken in the door hinge area, moving the door to the open position may make a better connection. Audis are famous for that one.

Ya my friend went thought that and we just went and replaced the motor for about 200 plus i got 20 for the labor its an easy fix if you've done it before but you would just be better of replacing the motor and i suggest a junk yard because 200 for a p/w motor is b/s
