I went back and re-read your post from the beginning. First you said you can hear a clicking sound in the door but no window action which tells me window regulator. Now you are saying you don't hear a click at all? Which is it?

If it is your regulator that has malfunctioned, it usually will not go up or down because of the window being slightly cocked in its track due to misalignment of the regulator, because either a pulley has cracked or one of the rail glides has broken. These things are not easy to see while the regulator is in the door. If you have gone as far as to pull the panel off of the door, I would go ahead and remove the regulator from the door and inspect it. At that point you can also remove the motor from the regulator and plug it back into the socket and see if your motor will spin. At that time you will have answered all of your questions and know exactly what route to go.

Yes the clicking is in the switch itself, like when its auto up and stops whit a clic. This sound disapers when i remowe the socet under switchunit, but i agre that if window is stuck in close posision do to fail in regulator the switch wil shut off in a split second beliving the window is up or down.
I was a bit confused of not getting power (12V) in socet on motor when pushing button.
I am sorry if my explaning was unclear earlyer.
I now wil order a new regulator, thank you for all help!

If you are unsure about the no power to the motor deal, pull the entire regulator/motor assembly out of the door (since it has to come out anyway) and remove the motor from the regulator and then plug the motor itself back into the socket to confirm. While regulator is out, inspect plastic pulleys and plastic track glides . . . that is where you will find your failure.
