Default Passenger window issue

Having issue rolling passenger window down. Sometimes it just doesn't roll down but you can hear some clicking. I have checked both switches.
also when it does roll down it is slow
So does each window have it own relay?

Could be the regulator. It has a nylon gear that goes bad after time.

Wouldn't think it would be a power or relay issue if you can hear stuff. Each door has a Door Module.

Power Windows Malfunction

Circuit/System Description
The vehicle is equipped with power windows controlled by door modules. The passenger door window can be operated, either from a power window switch built into the driver door switch assembly (DDSA), or from a power window switch mounted locally on the passenger door. The driver door window can be operated only from the driver door power window switch built into the DDSA.

When the driver door module (DDM) receives a driver door window switch request from the DDSA, the DDM examines the request and checks for messages from other vehicle control modules prohibiting the window movement. If no prohibitive messages have been received, the DDM will apply power and ground to the driver door window motor to move the window as requested.

When the passenger door module (PDM) receives a window switch request from either the DDSA or the window switch mounted locally to it, the PDM will examine the request and check for messages from other vehicle control modules prohibiting the window movement. If no prohibitive messages have been received, the door module will apply power and ground to its associated window motor to move the window as requested. For more detailed information concerning power window operation refer to Power Windows Description and Operation .

Power Window Inoperative - Passenger Door
Ignition ON, command the passenger window motor up and down with a scan tool. The passenger window should move up and down when commanded.
⇒ If the passenger window does not move up and down, replace the PDM.

Observe the scan tool driver RF window switch parameter while activating the driver RF window switch to the up and down positions. The reading should change between up and down.
⇒ If the reading does not change between up and down, replace the DDSA.

Disconnect the harness connector at the passenger window switch.
Test for less than 1.0 ohm of resistance between the passenger window switch ground circuit terminal 4 and ground.
⇒ If greater than the specified range, test the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.

Connect the harness connector at the passenger window switch.
Observe the scan tool Front Passenger Window Switch parameter while activating the passenger window switch to the up and down positions. The reading should change between up and down.
⇒ If the reading does not change between up and down, test the appropriate power window switch signal circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuits test normal, replace the passenger window switch.

If all circuits test normal, replace the PDM.

Power Windows System Components
• Driver door module (DDM)

• Passenger door module (PDM)

• Driver door switch assembly (DDSA)

• Passenger door power window switch

• Class 2 serial data link

• DOOR CONTROLS circuit breaker (30-amp)

• ACCA/DRIV DR SW fuse (10-amp)

Regulator shouldn't be that much. I replaced one on my C5 and it was under $100 OEM. Pull the door panel and check if the gear went bad.

Do you have a link for one for $100?
There are some repair kits out there that might be that but think mine is more motor issue since it click when trying to open
