Default passenger window won't move

before, it was a intermittent problem, sometimes it would work, other times it wouldn't.
now it won't function at all.

I can hear the relay clicking, so is my motor shot?

i have the exact problem. an old post said to hit the door (interior) and it may allow it to work, didnt for me. i pulled the door apart, replaced speakers, but still couldnt get window to work, i might try to run a hot wire up to the window regulator motor, to see it its a power problem, or just the regulator bad. do you have a vert? when you take the top down the windows will go down automatically, mine didnt budge, but the dirver will go down like its supposed to.

Mine routinely does this. The way I "fix" it is to sit in the driver's seat, hold the passenger window down button, and give the passenger door a sharp smack on the handle. May take a couple smacks. If that doesn't do it pull your door panel off, and again holding the window down button, take the head of a screwdriver and thump the door panel opposite of where the motor is mounted. Once you get it going (assuming you do) make sure you operate the passenger window routinely to keep it from getting stuck again. Good luck!

Try jiggling the rubber boot between the door and frame with the door open.
