Right window wont go down
I can hear the relay in the door click but noting moves. an only a slight decrease on the voltage gage when the engine is off..
I'm guessing I need a new motor.. is there a primer anywhere about replacing the motor? it is an all in one assembly like in the dodge stealth?

This is a common problem, especially if you don't use the passenger window regularly. Try this: while pressing the down button, either slam the door shut, or give the interior of the door near the handle a few firm hits with your fist. It's worked for many of us.

Had the same problem...
...several years ago, used the "fist method" to unstick that motor. Worked! Since then, every time I start it up, I give that right window an up & down- twice...and it has continued to work (until now, probably..since I just jinxed myself)

It worked for me too. Never underestimate the power of percussive maintenance. 
Don't be shy. It finally worked for me when I got frustrated that the process wasn't working. Then I REALLY gave it a good rap and Viola!

Beating on the door will work for awhile, but eventually you will need to replace the regulator assembly. I also tried using my passenger window mor often to keep it working, but it eventually failed too.

That reminds me I haven't ran that window in a while.
I better do it tomorrow.
