Bill is the plastic do hickey located in the motor?? I had the same thing
happen on my Fox Lots-To-Do ( midsize LTD) and the problem was the plastic

If the window free falls, it's a disconnect from the motor to the
regulator - likely the plastic gear. If the window stops mid-way and the
motor still turns, it's the worm shaft thingy inside the pipe thingy. Your
LTD (Likely To Die) probably has a conventional style regulator with bars
(no worm shaft thingy) and failures would occur in the motor 99% of the
time.
