Answer
The window regulator cable broke and the regulator has to be replaced, there are three large screws holding the door panel on, two of them are located in the armrest, remove the plastic covers on the side of the armrest to get to them, one is located behind the small red clearance light, just pry it out, the cover around the inside door handle prys off, use a small screwdriver and pry the outer part of the cover away from the handle on both the top and bottom this will release the cover.
