Te problem most likely exists in the power window motor/regulator assembly if the fuse is good. The fuse should be checked first, and if the fuse is good, the door panel will need to be removed to check the condition of the regulator and window motor. You may want to enlist the help of a mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, to assist in the repair and diagnosis of why your window is not going up or down.
