Driver window only goes down

Hiya folks!
Work in progress buyt figured Id see if anyone has any suggestions

2015 M4
Car working perfectly until several days ago. Noticed that the drivers side window would not go "up". Goes down, but then nothing happens when closing

Hooked up ISTA

Unable to initialize window. Hall sensors normal. EBUS commands from drivers side switch show appropriate commands when the window switch is thrown either way.

Took off door panel. Regulator is fine. Flat motor runs fine in ONE direction, nothing happens in other. Assumed motor was the problem, replaced, same issue. Runs in "down direction" only.

ISTA says that "relay functioning, but no power to motor". Unable to activate closing using ISTA. I just ordered a new switch, but don't really think this is gonna fix issue.

Does this sound like a problem with FEM? No other codes seen at FEM

Any thoughts appreciated


Thanks in advance

Brian

Update.
Pulled out the FEM and saw obvious corrosion. I suspect there was a shorted relay. Sourced a salvage FEM and am having it cloned by Bimmerscan. Will update.
