Default Passenger Window Issue From Driver Side Control Unit

In my Year 2000 vette, the passenger window works fine if using the passenger side control unit. If I try to move the passenger window from the driver side window control unit, then it works 25% of the time

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

There have been numerous posts about faulty connections and broken wires in the accordian pleated rubber wiring conduit from the door to the body. You might try jiggling it while trying to operate the window to see if it has an effect.

Just what I've read, no personal experience.

More than not it is a broken wire on the drivers side.

I posted a similar question earlier this morning about the rubber accordion that protects the wires that run from the door to the vehicle. 8Vette7 gave me this link and it was exactly what I needed, I imagine it is what you are looking for too.
