So, power window?? First thing would be to determine if your windows take their power from a relay or it is a direct feed, then check those sources for continuity and power. If direct drive, identify what fuse the window regulator assemblies are attached to and check it.
If you find nothing amiss with either of those, then you need to dismantle the inner door panel and remove it from the door shell. This will give access to the regulator assembly and the toggle switch that actuates it. There is a harness plug on the regulator near its bottom and also one on the switch. Before you attempt to deal with them, trying attaching a jumper cable from the door shell to the A pillar, bare metal to bare metal, turn the key to on, and try the switch. If you get action you have a ground problem. No action, check the harness for breaks or damage and the switch can be tested using a multimeter on ohm setting.
If it turns out to be the regulator, well. As installed by the factory they are riveted in place using Cherry Q split rivets and an air setting tool. They will have to be drilled out to remove the reg-motor assembly. Before you do that, you will first have to unbolt the window pane from its tracks, mark for position and remove the stops and bumpers that align the window and lift it out of the shell, then more ahead with extracting the motor/drive. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL REMOVING THAT ASSEMBLY; IT IS SPRING LOADED AND CAN AMPUTATE A FINGER IF YOU GET CARELESS. My local yard suggested that, once the motor assembly is out, that I freeze the sector arm to the frame by using a large pair of Vice Grips, JIC. Worked.
For how it all actually is done on a step by step basis, i strongly suggest the use of a service manual for your year of car. Place called Faxon Literature out in California carries used volumes in various stages of condition.
If you managed to get a car with a manual regulator, then ignore all the electrical steps, pop the panel and deal with the window pane et al. You will still have to deal with those rivets and that sector spring is absolutely lethal if you try to release its tension without having the sector arm clamped down TIGHT.
Beware the door all on its own; it is over 50 pounds heavy or more fully assembled and not much less just as a shell. Trying to take it off to put the door on a bench comes with problems all on its own.
