Attempt to retrieve troble codes from the RDCM, my guess is you will get a 'NO COMM', which in this case, means you will need the right hand door control module.

Re: Window don't Work (Jerryk)
I had this problem with my passenger window. I did not have a no-comm dtc. The problem is the regulator cable, which required a motor and regulator replacement. Luckily mine was under warrenty, it said $330 for the part on the receipt!

Re: Window don't Work (66ImpalaLT1)
This should go in the FAQ.
While pressing the passenger window switch, smack the inner door panel to the upper right of the speaker (not the speaker though) with the palm of your hand.
You might have to do it a couple times, but it should free up the stuck motor contacts.
Not a permanent fix, but it'll save you $330 in the interim. Mine did this once, over a year ago, and it has not happened since.
