You can check the state of the motor by giving it a 'jump-start' direct from 
the battery.  A common problem is that the contacts in the power circuit get 
corroded, especially the ones in the door and so resistance goes up - bad 
news in a high-current circuit like that.  They don't even have to be that 
bad to reduce the current enough to stop the winder working.  That's exactly 
what has happened with my passenger window. If I unplug the connectors in 
the door and clean up the contacts, it'll work fine for a couple of weeks 
and then stop again.  I think I'll just cut the connectors off and solder 
the wires.
Another thing to check is the window rubbers/guides.  If the rubber at the 
top of the door is bunched-up and catching the glass or if the guides down 
the side are making too much resistance then that won't help.  If you're 
taking the door panel off to check the wiring, it's easy to check the guides 
at the same time.
