Passenger Power Window Suddenly Stops
Good morning gentleman, I have a 1978 that one minute the passenger power window was working, the next it is not. The driver side works fine. I checked all the fuses and they seem to be in good shape. I understand that there is a relay under the console somewhere but does it control both windows or do they have separate for each side? Just wanted to get some basic info before I start digging in. Thanks in advance

most likely broken wire going thru the door,
if no up or down on 1 side only, bad/broken gnd. wire to motor.
use jumper cable to gnd window motor to frame for test.

I should add that it was still intermittently working after the above-mentioned repairs. I took some needle nose pliers and closed the female connection on the wiring from the motor and made it a little bit tighter. Seems to be working now, I think that it was loose in there. I'm sure I'll eventually end up having to replace something but for now it works. Thanks for your help everyone!
