Happened on my '04 Coupe after two weeks, turned out to be a bad module and was replaced under warranty.

Power Window not working...help please
My passenger side power window is not working. When I hit the switch I get a clicking sound. I removed the door panel and the speaker and can see the back of the window motor. I have seen some suggest you can tap on it a few times and it works. Well that does not seem to help me out much.
Any suggestions on removing the motor? Do I need to remove the plastic water shield with all the black tar stuff? Anything else I should try before I try to pull the motor out to replace?
Anyone know cost of new motor?

Try slamming the door hard while holding the power switch.
A new motor was 170 roughly at dealer cost.
It is a easy swap, the hardest part is aligning the window properly.

I've fixed mine 3-4 times by tapping on the motor with a fairly heavy tool ( vice grips, channel locks ) while holding the down button down. It's worked fine for about the last year. I've also fixed a friends this way . Good luck.

I will try this again, maybe I am not hitting it hard enough. 
If it needs to be replaced, I believe I may take it to dealer..I hate trying to work in a space I can't see.

The only thing you can't see is the electrical connector. Everything else is accesible. It's a 60 minute job.

The passengers side window does not get cycled as much as the drivers. This seems to be a commom problem. Recommend raising and lowering it once or twice a week if possible. that might help. I recommend lubricating the metal piviot parts with some light machine oil and cycling it a few times while you have the door a part.
