I've already read through all the other posts on how to test it and what could be wrong, but everything seems fine. Motor, wiring, switches, fuse, and the tracking. They are supposedly all working fine. But my drivers side power window will still not go up. It went down fine, but it won't go up. I'm wondering if it could possibly be any gearing is maybe stripped and it's stuck in place? If that's not possible, then what else could it be? I'm losing it trying to figure this all out!

Basic idea on 12v motors: The switch is reversing polarity to the motor which can spin either way. It's not a geared thing shifting to "reverse" or anything. Stop now if it's grinding or making noise when requesting UP now and hit back.
~~~~
There's the right way, the wrong way and then there's a "my way" to test things. Turn key to enable windows and open door looking at the dome light - engine off. Press the window button for up and see if the dome (overhead) light flickers or dims. Now do the same for down which just worked and it will probably dim for you - right?
If it will dim in either up or down request but isn't moving we need to take the door panel off for a check. If it only dims one way then the switch is more likely the issue.
Get a common 12v scratch awl type test light and check wires under the switch for adding power to a wire for that motor then try powering the alligator clip end of the test light and test that the switch adds ground to the opposite wire - checking that polarity gets reversed for whether "up" or "down" request. If it doesn't show both in the "up" request then the switch is bad,

I think I actually just figured it out. Huh, it looks like there's a relay inside of the box that contains everything for the power door locks, windows, everything that's not working properly. I can hear it clicking, but it's constantly pushing the window down when triggered. So it's not allowing it to switch over.

But unfortunately, I have no idea on what that part would be called.

I suppose a "relay" could have an attitude. If you can hear it take it out, bump on it, put it back in, it may work for a while or not. From that go test polarity changes at the switch.
If you need to get this window up right now get inside the door panel - unplug the motor and give the TWO wires power and ground - one way will allow it to go up or at least try to. There could be some other issue but I don't think so yet,
