Clean and lubricate the window track and operating mechanism. Sometimes a dirty, dry track will prevent the window from going up correctly.

Thanks for the reply. I have tryed doing that but still nothing. It doesnt sound like there is power going to the window while trying to put it up. I read that there are two different wires that control up and down both bein different colours

Remove the door panel and test the door mounted switch and window motor and also check to see if the wire to the window regulator has broken/rusted off.

With luck, you MAY just have loose or corroded connections.
