I was driving around and rolled my windows down, and I got on the highway and when i pressed the switch to roll the pass side window back up, nothing happened. No noise or anything. Driver side works fine. I got the switch out and cleaned it best I could but still nothing. Could it be the motor is just stuck? Sorry if this has been posted before.
 
The motor could be stuck. My 93 did that to me. In a pinch if you have to get the window up before you can get a new motor here is something you can try. Pull the door panel and tap on the motor with a small hammer or something like that. Don't hammer the crap our of it just tap on it some. Sometimes that frees it up and you can get the window up in an emergency. You can also check the wire connections and make sure that you are getting power to the motor.
 
The motor is right behind the speaker right? I tried tapping on that with a small hammer while pushing on the switch, and nothing happened. The window worked fine yesterday, then just suddenly quit. Didnt start working poorly, just quit. Could it be a fuse or something? I checked the wiring best I could, nothing seems disconnected.
 
The windows have a circuit breaker, not a fuse. But if it tripped, neither window would work until it reset. Most likely you have a bad connection or the motor could be going out. Did you check both passenger window buttons, drivers side and passenger side? I think they both are needed to complete the circuits in order for the window to work.

Good luck!

is that the metal capped one on the strater relay?
 
thanks for straighten that out. I just thought i'd read somewhere that there was also some sort of relay/ circuit breaker or something on the starter relay.
thanks again.
