Sorry guys could use some help. Passenger window will not go down, Tried it and listened have no clicking noise like Ive heard you should have. What should I check next and as a mechanically challenged person how hard is it to remove the inside door panel.

Door panel is easy to remove. Chances are the relay inside the door control module went bad. There are lots of places that repair these such as: http://autoclockrepair.com/c5_corvet...WSUaAvHA8P8HAQ
You can also get one for cheap on fleabay

Hear a click when activate up and down then it's usually the motor...no click, bad relays

Several months ago I had the same issue. Went on the CF form and the net and found a procedure that I have name the 'wack' method. See attachment. It has worked for me without any door panel removal or repairs. Maybe it will help you decide what options to fix your problem.

Had the same problem when I bought my car. I tried pounding on the door while pushing the switch with no success.I took it to the dealer, and he took the panel off and wacked the door frame with a rubber hammer. He told me it is common on GM vehicles for the passenger side because they don't get used as much.

Mine quit going up and down but I could hear a click when trying so I ended up replacing the regulator and it works fine now. Yours does sound like the relay module.
