My only thoughts on this one is to take the door trim off and manually close the window and put the motor into closed position and then check out the motor. It may be something as simple as a boken lead but from what you describe it sounds like the motor has seized or burnt out and may need replacing...

Eventualy had to drill out rivets holding motor and actuating arms to door,then could get at screws that fit window to arms , then managed to wedge window up.
The problem was a dry solder joint on one of the motor brushes !
