Don't know why these things like to stick in the down position, but they do.
Could be the extra current required to get the window moving up. IDK

A good bumb with the palm of your hand usually gets them moving.
Not so hard that you tear up the door panel. But hard enough that you rattle the window motor.

I tried pulling it up and operating the switch and jumping it with 12v and it is lifeless.

Put a test light in the circuit with your jumper wire. That will tell you if any power is going through the motor/brushes.

If the light don't come on I'd still give the door panel a few good whacks.

If it's only one brush that's not making contact, the light may come on dim. And I'd still give it a whack to try and get it to run.

Give it the good whack while you are trying to get it to move, not before, but during, like you would an old starter that was about worn out.
