Hey guys my drivers side window will not go down. It' all the way up. I can here the motor when I push the switch to go up but nothing when going down. Tried new regulator and same thing. Is this a switch problem or what. Has anyone else had this problem?

Did you replace the motor with the regulator? Ive replaced them as one unit.
That's what usually needs to be done. Same thing happened to my passenger front window. The cable was frayed, stopping it from going down. Maybe you have the same issue.

Yes the new regulator had new motor on it it did the same thing .would bump up but not completely go up and thays with out the window fastened. And went gi down at all. Now with window init it won' go down and the screws won' line up to reinstall.

Sounds like the regulator needs to be lined up and fastened in. Otherwise it will probably bind.

sounds like a bad switch to me.

if you got some wire and a cordless drill battery you can reverse the power at the plug for the window regulator to move it down and back up for alignment.

But it does the same thing with new regulator
