My 97 expo driver side window was having like a electrical issue where i had to keep pushing the down button to get it to roll down, it would basically roll down a little then stop but it always would roll right up but today nw the window will not roll up! I dont here anything when i press it up but if I press down i here a click as if it cant go down any further anybody have any idea what is wrong. im short on cash and really need to get this fixed.

Loose connection maybe? Motor shot? Do your other windows work? Could be the switch... I just went through the same thing with my door lock. The wire going into the actuator actually got rubbed right through by the window going up and down.

I'd clean the switch with electric parts cleaner, and go from there.
When I bought mine a few weeks ago none of the windows worked. I took the drivers switch apart, it popped right out and comes apart very easily. I moved each switch and saw the little metal contacts were burned on some switches. I cleaned them with some very fine sandpaper and rinsed it with contact cleaner.
Then the drivers switch needed extra care. It was physically worn and wobbling so that when you select UP, the contacts actually lift away from the circuit board and wouldnt work. There are 3 spring loaded plastic pins underneath each switch. (they look like a spring you would find in an ink pen) The springs/pins hold the switch straight. The left plastic pin was worn out and causing the switch to not make contact. I swapped the center plastic pin with the left plastic pin both on the same switch. That solved it, the windows are working now. Except the pass front window needs a regulator...
