I lowered the passenger window and tried to raise it. It went up half way, lowered window , tried again but now nothing , where do I look first, fuse box, which one ? or take door panel off and test ?, how do I get the door panel off?

Under the handle is a small black plastic cover with two torx screws under that. Remove them, then pry out the bottom of the door panel around the edges. Lift the panel up and off, disconnecting the wire connectors. There is a large mositure barrier which you will need to carefully peel away without tearing it. At that point, you'll be able to see as much as possible. I will venture a guess that the steel cable has come off the track. Please understand that the window regulator is an assembly and its nearly impossible to do anything with it other than replacing it as an assembly if its needed. You might get lucky and find the window itself, detached from the clamp.
