Hello William

How are you doing? May I know the exact year and model of your Porsche. I'll be standing by for your response.

Thank you

Relly

Good to hear back from you William... Three things I suspect at the moment. The window control switch is faulty, the window motor is faulty or it may just need a reset. Can you access the car the moment? I strongly suggest that you remove the negative battery connector and let it sit for 5 minutes before reconnecting it. This will reset the system and may get the window back to it's normal operating state. I will be standing by

The PSM light shouldnt be a problem William. It does come on if the cable is removed or new battery is installed. Try to start the car. Move the steering from left to right and vise versa. Drive a short distance til the onboard computer resets. The PSM light will go out. 

Is there any history of window regulator replacement William?

That's good. Ok William it's either the switch or the window regulator/motor is at fault and may require replacement. By the way, do you hear any sound coming from the door when you push the window button?

Ok... I strongly believe that the cable of the window is broken. You will really have to replace that regulator that includes the cable. You have power on the switches which is good and that leaves the regulator at fault. Below is what the regulator looks like William

You may click the blue WINDOW REGULATOR link as well for reference on how to access it incase you want to do it yourself. Please remember to remove the negative battery connector again  if you will replace the parts.
