Default Faulty window switch???

[B]Left work today and as usual went to put the windows down on my 02 Z and the passenger side appears to have taken a dump. I can hear click click but NO movement. Suggestions?? Thanks, Pop.

I have an 03 and just had the left motor replaced for the passenger window. First it failed to go down. Then worked the next day, went down but not up. Fixed under warrenty for $400

My entire control module located in the driver's door on my '02 Z was recently replaced under warranty.

The easiest fix to try is: Hold the window switch in the down position while you close the door hard. Sometimes this works to free the window regulator and get things working again. The regulators have a tendency to get hung up and the slamming of the door with the switch held down can get it going again.
If that doesn't work you are probably looking at replacing the window regulator. They typically only last a couple of years in these car and then crap out.
