Default Where Does This Wire Go??

Hi all! Long time lurker, first time poster - Got a 2001 who's passenger side window suddenly decided it won't go up. Power lock on that side also doesn't work. I took the door panel off and found this blue wire had backed out of the connector... unfortunately my dummy self pulled the connector to get a better view and knocked the wire out of place! So no I have no idea where it goes! I've spend the last hour and a half googling and looking at wiring diagrams with no luck. Can anyone help??

Connector and loose wire

Module it goes to

Okay, so I finally found a diagram that indicated the loose wire goes to pin 7 of C4. Great! Unfortunately the window still won't go up. I tried switching the driver & passenger side door modules, but still no luck. This entire door is dead except for the speakers.

I'm really lost at this point...

The door panel is off, but I struggle to see how doing that would help with the fact that the door is getting zero power except to the speaker.

There is a rubber accordion between the chassis and the door. Disconnect the chassis side and pull the wires out of the chassis. You will find a connector in there. Make sure the connections are tight.
