Default '73 RH power window stopped working

With no issues at all and everything seemingly working fine, my RH power window quit working (in the down position of course). Absolutely no action/reaction when pushing the toggle in either direction. LH side works just fine. My assumption is that both motors work off of the same fuse/circuit, and I hate removing those door panels, and it was so sudden on just the one side, it just seems to be something simple & electrical. Any ideas before I start tear
ing things apart?

Although not all that much less work than removing a door panel, last time that I had a window just stop working, one of the wires had come out of the switch in the console. At least it's pretty easy to see if one of the two wires has come out of the plug that is pressed on to the switch.
