Have you had a go at dismantling it? or checking it?
Sometimes it's the switches rather than the motor... Swap the connectors with the passenger side window (assuming that one works okay) to test. 5 min job.
If it's still no go, strip down the door card and take the motor out (Not a 5 minute job ! ), with the motor and mechanism on a table carefully check the mechamism cables and 'gearbox' from the motor to the cable. I bet the motors fine, and the gearbox is just ceased. They can be (again, carefully, otherwise you'll have cable spring everywhere) quite easily dismantled and freed.
You might need some 'star' type drivers though.
If you've got the time, it's worth a go.
