Rear window not functioning

Rear window not functioning
Rear driver window.
Main switch up front and switch on the door itself aren't making the window move.
The child lock switch on the door frame is in the correct spot.
Any suggestions?

Turn key on but do not start engine
turn on one map light
attempt to operate bad window while watching the map light
If the light dims slightly when you try to run the window, that would indicate the motor is drawing some power from the battery and it may be stuck (sometimes happens to window motors that are rarely used), sometimes you can free up a stuck motor by tapping on it. Remove door panel and see what you can do inside the door.
If the light does not dim at all, that would indicate the window motor is not drawing any power at all.
Hold the affected window switch down (or up) so window can move if the motor does run
Slowly swing drivers door fully open and close
Repeat same check opening and closing the affected rear door
If at any point the window motor does run, you're looking at broken wire(s) in the jamb where they flex every time the door is opened.
If no help was gained from the above....
Get a wiring diagram and a test light and a few tools, diagnose it?
Sorry, no silver bullet from me, too many possibilities.....but proper testing can lead to correct answers.
