Power Windows aren't working now! 200

Can anybody help me? My driver's side power window on my 1990 240 DL is stuck 1/2 way down. I tried replacing the fuses but obviously they were OK because that did not fix the problem. This happened once before and I took it back to the previous owner's mechanic (who had been doing the work before I bought it). He got it fixed but would not tell me how so I assume that he rigged it by fixing something up. Any advice on what I can do and/or until I get it fixed; any way to get the window up until I can get it to a mechanic. I live in Brooklyn and I don;t feel comfortable leaving the driver's side window 1/2 open. We park on the street here.

thanx for any help.

    PULL OUT THE SWITCH ASSEMBLY FROM THE DOOR PANEL (PRY OUT WITH SMALL SCREWDRIVER OR SIMILAR) AND SWITCH THE WIRE BLOCK FROM L/F WINDOW TO THE L/F SWICH AND SEE IF IT WORKS THEN,IF SO REPL THE SWITCH OR JUST SWAP.

    I've been looking into inoperable windows lately and it seems many people have had trouble from the switches having dirt and dust built up inside them. Some folks replace the switches and some take them apart and just clean. Usually it seems the symptoms of dirty switches are slow window operation or operation in one direction but not the other. Did your window just give out all of a suudden or was it gradual? If all of a sudden and it goes neither up or down then it may be something other than the switches. Unfortunately, I don't know any quick and easy methods for getting the window up.
