I had the same problem with mine, can you hear the relay clicking?

I fixed mine by removing the interior door panel and tapping the end of the window motor with a screwdriver while pushing the down button, has never failed since

Thanks

Glad you got it working, mine was sluggish the first few times but it soon ran smooth like the drivers side.

for what its worth, 95% of the time it will be the motor not the switch on an f-body.

there is a circuit board inside that box you were tapping on. There are relays on the circuit board for the window and doors locks. These relays crap out. It happened to me. The good news is you can replace the relays very cheaply. Check this out:

I tapped the back of the window motor, you have to put your hand inside the door panel.
