start with the fuse, if ok go to the switch, most likely failure spot. The connection on the back gets wet, corodes, etc. clean it up and see what it does

you should also check the plug to the window motor, mine fell out once and went thru the whole fuse/switch method to find out the plug had came loose. you will have to pull the door panel though.. good luck
