one power window not working could be window switch or window motor see if other windows will work from master switch on driver side if yes window switch is faulty,if driver side window is the one not working.check see if power going to switch and window motor the window motor could be in a bind remove disconnect the glass from window regulator see if window moves up and down not bind if yes windows move up and down the window motor is faulty or window regulator bad.
Power Window: If it's a power window check to see if there is power coming from the window switch with a test light or multimeter. If power is coming from the switch, look in the door where it pivots and check to see if any wires are cracked or broken. If there is no borken wires, then it's possible that the power window motor is not working. If you hear the power window motor working or operating it's possible the window regulator is broken or binded up Manual Window: If it's a manual window, take the door panel off and check the regulator (part where the window is attached) and looked for any signs that the cable in the part has come free or binded up. Try to roll window up and down to find any signs of the broken cable. If that is the case, then you need a window regulator.
The drivers door ,of course, gets worked the most. the binding is from the window regulator wearing out. they can't be fixed, only replaced. the other doors are usually the motors, from non use. As you indicated the light dims, so you are getting power to the motor, but it is locked and possibly the regulator is locked up. When the motors drags or lock, you can sometimes smack the door and get them to work again as your try to roll them up or down. also try to assist the window down as you activate it. There is only one circuit breaker for the windows.

You will need to replace the window motor, it kinda like a starter motor when starting to go out will not have enough power, same with the window motor, brushes are worn.Also could blow a fuse, asking for to much voltage to work.
Sounds like your window regulator has broken. Remove the door panel and inspect the regulator for binding cable or broken guides. Replace as necessary.
Try the fuse. The switch may be faulty so check by removing the inner door panel and connecting a 12v battery via two wires to the motor that winds the window up and down. If it goes up and down it's probably the switch which may just need a clean on the terminals.
It sounds like you have power coming out of the switch to the motor because of what you hear. So that pretty much leaves you with a window regulator problem. Make sure there's no binding action between window & frame
You more than likely have a regulator (the piece holding the glass that scissors up and down) that is in a bind. Need to inspect it prior to ordering parts but I bet it is the regulator track bushing that has come apart and is binding.
