2006 Caravan Passenger Window Sign In

I have an 06 Grand Caravan with about 140k on it. My wife rolled down the passenger front window about an inch, then left for an appt. When she got back in the window would not roll back up with either the driver's side or passenger side controls. Since neither work and the age of the vehicle am I safe to assume its the motor?

we never ASSUME ...
Will the driver window operate up and down?
I would then check the wiring to pass motor,
can you check wiring - if so we will add a diagram.

General: Window motor turns by reversing polarity of wires to it for "up" or "down" request. Check what you can as Kev suggested but try hard not to put window DOWN and more as you are likely to need to remove door panel which is a real pest to get at some things if window is all the way down on many,

When I got home yesterday I was able to roll the window up. I didn't do anything but put my key in and turn the vehicle on. It seems like there may be a loose wire or worn brushes on the motor. I can test the wiring with a test light if needed so a diagram would be helpful.

? If totally working now everything you test will test OK so fruitless IMO. If you want to try for some common things just put it down as little as possible and back up then do that with and while opening door either driver's or that door - the one most used is where I'm going.
Some will pull intermittents like that with the bending of wire in the door jam you can't see as it should be hidden in a snorkel to protect it and so you don't see it. If one will cause it to happen again and maybe correct again that's likely. Now to catch it NOT working for sure and find which wire is dropping out fast and I'd overlay (splice new thru those door jams) for that wire to inside door. Just that one for now if that happens.
Intermittent stuff of the sort can be a real hair puller as you have to catch it,
