Default Passenger window stays down

Can't get my passenger side window to roll up. Driver side works, but when i hit the switch for the passenger side, from either side, nothing happens. Anyone else experience this? Anyone know how to?

I checked some fuses, including the one for power windows under the hood, and they all seem fine.

Help?

Window regulator probably broke.

You can take off your panel and prop the window up for now until you get a replacement. Greenleaf on Ebay has the part for cheap.

Press the window lock button a second time.

This got me when I installed my Window relay switch (automatically roll up window when car shuts off). I installed it, and thought, "Oh eff, I broke it" ... Good thing it didn't take too long for me to notice the window lock.

I don't think it's the window lock. The driver's side switch doesn't operate it either.

Do the regulators break down often? The wire is still fine but nothing can budge the window with the motor hooked up.

Yes, that's what happens with the window lock. It only locks passenger side window.

Also, does anyone know if newer model window motors will work?
