Broken automatic window

Ok! Here is the next problem I have with this car. This one, I think it goes without say, is a little more complicated than a burnt up fuse. Of course, this car is old, as I have mentioned, and so far, I have had a problem with two of the windows. First, it was the front driver's side window, and that got fixed at a shop. Then, afterward, the rear passenger-side window also got stuck and won't budge up or down, regardless of what you push or how much physical effort you put into it.
Well, my dad recently bought me some tools. So, let's put them to use! How do I need to go about troubleshooting a fixing the window on my car? And notably, if even necessary, what is the easiest way to get a door open? I have had severe difficulty with it in my old car (a 93 dodge shadow).

I thought of some more relevant information!
Last time, the window that broke on the driver's side did the same thing as this window did: it rolled up part way, made some noises, and stopped working. Then, of course, it wouldn't budge an inch. When we got the driver-side window fixed, our mechanic told us that it was the motor that was to blame. He didn't replace it; I'm not entirely sure what he did, but he fixed it.
So in short, I think it's most likely the window motor and not the electrical connection. However, I will do as I am advised because I have never dealt with fixing this kind of problem on my own before.

Doot doo.
Ok. So, today, I accidentally pushed the button for the window that is broken, and it rolled down. I didn't do this before because I didn't want to compromise the security of the car by making the window get stuck lower than it was.
So the motor still works, it just gets stuck somewhere.
Why might this occur and how do I go about fixing it?
Also, I noticed a similar problem on the rear driver-side window, but to a much lesser extent. This particular window rolls up almost all the way, just about half an inch above the top of the window. How is this fixed?
(I've tried pulling up and pushing the button at the same time; it doesn't work.)

Its probably stuck because the motor is dead and frozen. Try getting a new window motor and putting it in. Its easy!
