Default power window Q

Merry Christmas all!

Have a power window question - no real satisfaction in a search on the forum. Just had a mouse nest cleaned out from passenger side vent, and had broken vent cable replaced (among a lot of other things not related, including new carb!). Noticed on my way home from the shop the passenger side power window now does not work. Shop is closed for the week, and I will probably call the owner next week, but I might try to figure out the problem myself.

My guess is it is not a fuse, since all other electricals work, including drivers window. I think probably a wire was broken or loosened while the vent work was done - pass side door was not opened up - so I don't think the problem is at the motor.

Where should I start? Is there a place behind the pass side dash that the wire is easily traced?

TIA

Bill

You might have pulled a connector loose or broken a wire to [or from] the power window relay when you did the cable work.

Exactly what I'm thinking... would there be a likely place to start looking? Is there a specific color wire I should look for?
