I guess you're kidding about the passenger window...mine quit working last week. The courtesy light works fine...I think. I'll have to check that out.

Ok, and your snarky comments add what to this forum? Other than gloating about your ability to read a service manual?
Here's a cookie for your efforts:

I don't think the two circuits are related. You probably wiggled some wiring when you had the door panel off.

That is what I was thinking, which is why I worded the thread title like that. I did not pull the door panel off, though.
The window did not work when I bought the car a couple weeks ago. Checked everything but pulling the door panel.
I took the door light lens above the handle out and found the bulb was cracked into two pieces. It looks almost like those old round glass fuses. I put the new bulb in, turned the lights on to check it, tried the window switch and the window worked.
I was surprised.

Likely loose contacts on the switch.
Or the connector. It's an old car and those parts get cranky.
