While playing with the Radiator and A/C fans, I noticed that my passanger side window motor stopped working. I had, just this morning, lowered both windows to keep the interior cool, and when I went to roll them back up, only the driver side would go.

I have a Haynes Repair manual, and in the Power Window Diagnostic section all it says is:

a) Inspect the power window actuating switches and wiring for broken wires or loose connections.

b) Check the power window fuse and/or circuit breaker.

c) Remove the door panel(s) and check the power window motor wiring connections for looseness and damage, and inspect the glass mechanisms for damage which could cause binding.

But it does not say where any of that is. I've looked all over my car, including the fuse box near the clutch, and I can't locate anything even remotely similar to power window fuses. I don't know where to look. I could go and unbolt the door panels, but I'd rather not if the problem is as simple as a blown fuse.

Can I get any help here?
 
The power windows have a relay instead of a fuse (up under the dash on a 2g). But both windows use it so it can't be the problem if one window works. It's got to be the passenger window switch or motor, or connections.

OR more likely... (I know this may be embarrassing but)

if you have a "window lock" button, did you press it? It locks out the passenger window. :laugh:
