Automotive/power window

Question
I HAVE A 1998 SUZUKI SIDEKICK.  THE POWER WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT GO UP.  THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, BUT WITHIN THE SAME DAY, I WAS ABLE TO CLOSE MY WINDOW.  THE OTHER WINDOWS IN MY CAR ALL WORK FINE. HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?  

Answer
I have the same problem with my passenger window.Some days it is fine and other times it wont budge.It seems it is a dry connection on the switch so you may need to replace the switch on the panel.Most drivers side control panels come complete (4 switches)unfortunately you have to replace the whole thing but the Suzuzki im not sure if you can replace the individual switches.
