Is this a fuse issue, I have looked and it doesn't appear to be.
Does this mean the switch is out? If so, what kind of cost is associated and is this an easy DIY job?

Thanks

Check for a broken wire in the door grommet, that's what my issue was.
You have to cut it open with a utility knife, then splice the broken wires, odds are there is more than one.
I had four.
I am going to buy a new wire harness later this year.
 
Could be ^^^. Also you can remove the wires without cutting the rubber grommet.
If you remove the kick panel to unplug the wire plug coming form the door to the main wire harness.
After doing that, you can sloly pull out the wire harness and the rubber grommet from the body.

Thw window now works and I didn't do anything to it. The weather is in the high 70s now. This past weekend when it was not working it was 100 degrees each day. Does the high temps have anything to do with the window not working?

Yes, if the wires are broken... when the door is closed the exposed ends touch allowing electrical current to go through IF enough wire strands are touching that is.
Electrical resistance increases with tempature, higher ambient temps means higher electrical resistance, soooo, three of the six strands of wire are touching, at lower temps the resistance is low enough to allow enough power through to power the window, temps go up, resistance goes up, now it takes more power to work the window.
Also the window motor will require more power to operate because it is hotter, it is a electric motor, so same facts apply, higher temps means higher resistance means more power to operate.
