After spending 5+ hours detailing my car yesterday, I wake up this morning and my passenger window does not want to roll down. All other windows are working fine.
The window lock is not engaged,
the door locks switch works on both doors,
the pass side nor the driver's side switch does not roll down the pass window either.
Checked all the fuses under the dash and hood (which by the way are not labeled) and nothing blown.
You cant hear anything while any switches are pushed. I haven't got time to tear it apart now, but would love to hear any ideas from you guys.

Thank you, Phil

It is either a bad window switch or motor. Since neither switch works the window,but works the drivers window, I would say it is the motor. That is just my .02.

This is common.. Its most likely the motor. (which is costly to replace ~120$)

Carefully remove the door panel, remove the inner speaker, reach in with 3/8s ratchet and give the motor a few good taps right on the case. Now try to use it.. I've done this on a few friends and my girls Mustang... The motor just hits a bad spot every now and then.. tap it free and it will work for months

have you tried holding the down button on the switch and slamming the door shut?

Um.. no. Would that by chance "bust loose" whatever might be binding it up, taken that the motor has not gone bad? I will try that tomorrow.

WhiteFOXGT, I'll try your trick in a couple weeks. I have to use all my free time to study for my finals. Also, it was to my understanding that motors just don't go out, they usually give you some tell-tell signs that they are about to crap out. Maybe some just do.

If that is the case.... anybody have a spare motor laying around? LOL

Replacing the motor is a crappy job. You gotta take the window mouldings off, take the glass out, and remove the regulator/motor as an assembly. (everything is riveted in, so you gotta drill em out)

It takes literally 10 minutes to get the door panel off. Theres a push pin in the front by the hinge, theres 2 screws underneath the switch panel (has 2 screws holding the switch to the panel), and you pop off the bezel from the door handle. The panel slides right up. Take the 4 screws for the speaker out and you get a clean shot at the motor.. Just give it some nice solid taps with a metal object.

WhiteFoxGT: Funny thing, I went out to my car this morning being hopeful and tried the window again and BAM! It works again. Weird. I will take your advice and save it for future reference.

Thank you guys for your advice,
Phil
