Need help with power windows

I know this is the wrong spot to post but you guys have been so helpful! I put a new stereo in my truck the other day and put new speakers in the front door and my window on the passenger side would not work. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with it today and checking plugs and seeing if I had power to the motor and switch. I have power to the motor and switch and all I can get it to do is go down but not up. The window will only go down with the passenger side switch and not the drivers side. I checked fuses and the relay and can't figure out what is wrong but now I need to get my window rolled back up. I have a 99 f-250 crew cab. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Look for a broken wire in the loom between the door and the body of the truck.
1,000,000 opening and closing the door will fatigue the wiring and it will break like bending a spoon back and forth.
