Two electrical problems in one day...
Passenger window will not move. Relay clicks, but motor does not engage. Good thing it broke while the window is up. Also, the reverse lockout solenoid packed its bags and left apparently. Battery is less than a year old.
Oh well... good time to get the solenoid replaced and the skip shift removed. Any clues on what ails the window?

Usually if you hold the down switch (with the key on) and slam the door, it will break free and work for a while, sometimes a very long while. I also saw a post where someone removed the small plug under the door pull and put a screwdriver on one of the screws and hit it to vibrate the motor contact. A friend's had the same symptom and holding the window switch and giving the door a rap around the interior handle pull freed it up and it has worked since. It's also possible if that doesn't free it, you have a bad relay in the door control module. That can be removed and the offending relay replaced. If you search for door control module repair, you can find a writeup with pictures of which relay and how to fix.
