Driver's window stuck

Hello, I've looked through old threads and found some helpful troubleshooting procedures, but wanted to ask before I start ordering parts-

My driver's window won't move at all. I hear a faint click from inside the door when I push the console window switch, and the same click when manipulating the roof latch and door handle.

The passenger side window moves appropriately when working the roof latch and passenger door handle, so I think I can rule out the console switches and roof switch. Also swapped the console switches left to right, the passenger window works regardless of switch position and the driver window does not.

I checked the door harness to vehicle connector and found no moisture, no corrosion. The window feels like it has no play in it, like grabbing the window and trying to shift it results in no movement. Is my next step to pull the regulator and motor, and maybe run power directly to the motor to test if it spins?

I've been waiting to tear the door apart, I live in Washington and the rainy season is nearly over.

It definitely sounds like a problem with the window regulator. Most likely the cable has come off one of the rollers and jammed. It should be obvious to see with the interior door panel removed. If the cable and rollers look good, then I'd try power directly to the motor.

Had the replacement regulator sitting in the garage for nearly two months, waiting for family distractions to give me a few hours to myself- finally got it replaced today and it seems to work perfectly.

Thanks 78F350, and to everyone whose collected experience on the forum helped me through the job.
