auto window repair

I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. The drivers side window has stopped working, but all the other windows and roof are still working. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how I need to fix it or possible how expensive it is to fix it.
Thanks

Do you hear any noises in the door when you try to operate the driver's window?

As HT stated, you need to remove the door panel and check for power and ground to the window motor.

A maybe no harm trick for this. Get in car, wait for any lighting to go out and force an overhead light to come on. Key to run position such than other windows work.
Note when one is up and you request up the light will dim a bit. Now do that to the broken one and if it dims in either up or down request the power get there and motor can't respond.
Then get inside and check for power. Not sure but that may come as an assembly with the regulator and be a pest. Not sure on that exact year how it was done.
Not really old enough but some will lose power in wiring in the door jams. Not likely IMO for this as it's just driver's window not others,

I believe I'm missing power. The light that says auto on the switch doesn't light up anymore.

You don't know how to test this. You need to bring it to a shop for diagnosis.

We could be back to real test light what is going on and could be where wires bend in door jam or who knows just yet?
Remember checking grounds with common test light you power the alligator clip and it would light on ground - got it?

Problem Solved!
I want to thank everyone for all of their helpful suggestions. It is now fixed. I took it up to a friend of mine and he just banged on the inside of the door and it went up. He said sometimes in the heat, the brushes get stuck. He did tell me not to let it go down all the way until I can afford too have it looked at properly.
Great site, if I need anymore help, I'll let you know.

Sounds like it needs a new motor.

It probably does, but right now I'm unemployed and going to school. Fixing it right away is not an option. As long as it is up for the colder days that are coming, not trying to rush summer, but I don't want to be freezing to death.
