This happened to me. More than likely it is the contacts on the switch. Mine were arcing and covered with carbon. Take the switch out, clean up the contacts with alcohol or electrical contact cleaner, and see if it works. If not, you may still be able to get the window up with the plastic rocker cover removed.
