Thien,

I just fixed the same window.  The problem on mine is the motor.

This is what I did to check;

1.  remove the door trim panel, go to Brett Anderson's webpage for the
direction,
     http://frontpage.bestweb.net/~bretta

2.  disconnect the motor from the harness (the motor is at the front end
of the door),

3.  turn the ignition to 'ON' position and place a voltmeter across the
connector and 
     press the either the up or down button (depending on the connection
the meter 
     should show 12v, one will be '+' and the other '-', just interchange
the connection),

4.  if you get a voltage reading, then most likely it's the motor.  I
confirmed it by removing
     the motor. There are two torx head screwdrivers (T-20) facing upside
down that hold the 
     motor to the assembly.  

5. Reconnect the motor to the harness then press the up and down  button.
 That 
     threaded shaft should turn if the motor is okay, if it didn't then
replace that.  If it did, i'm
     sorry.  I guess you have to replace the regulator and I don't have
an experience on that yet.

I ordered a used motor from autosports unlimited that came with the
regulator.  I just used 
the motor and kept the regulator.  

My window goes up and down again.  Now, i have to fix the power lock on
the passenger side.

Have fun.
