Default Drivers side window won't roll down

I got in my car today and my driver's side door wouldn't roll down. It just hear a small click when I hit the button, but the window doesn't budge at all. The rest of my windows work perfectly, where's the problem exactly?

wait a day. Mine has done that like 3 times. It will randomly not work, and there will be a click noise right under the driver side dash, and then the next day it will work fine.

try taking off the door cover and giving the wondow motor a good smack with a extention or some thing. some times the gears need some lube and they get stuck. my window does it every now and then and all i have to do is give it some good old fashon fixing my smaking it around a bit. if it wont go down still then check the motor

Easy way to check. Open your door. With the key on, hit the window switch for the window that's not working. If the interior light dims then you need to replace your window regulator. If not, it's usually a switch, but wiring is also a possibility. Window regulators are very common.

I've had good experience with this one, mine stopped working right before it was about to rain and i took the panel off and blah blah blah, but after i just couldnt figure it out because i could hear the motor trying to move it up but nothing. So i did the redneck thing and got a hammer hit one of the metal arms that moves the window up and down and then poof it worked.
