About 2 months ago the driver's window wouldn't go down. It didn't make any noise when you pushed the up or down button. I replaced the window switch cluster with an OEM switch and it worked again, until I closed the door. I looked at the schematic and there is only one power wire that goes into the driver's switch and then goes to all other windows. The other windows always work. It was sporadic, but my wife didn't want to have the window stuck down.

I was wondering if it could be the regulator?

I bought the electrical schematic book for my 2015 off of eBay. Best 15 bucks I ever spent!!
Not only does it have wiring schematic, also has pictorial 'roadmap' of the driver door wiring connectors (numbered!) , the source/use/purpose of the pins on those connectors, AND tables of what the pins should be doing at various switch positions.
Pull the pin and find one!

Had the exact same problem with the driver window intermittent and then quit altogether on a 2011. Found out the power wire in the harness broke inside the rubber piece between the drivers door and the car itself. A really dumb spot for a wire to break.
