Basically the problem i'm having is that my passenger window switch is not working... Ive jumped the window motor and the window will go up and down. i just got my new window switch itself and it still did not fix the problem. my driver side switch will not do anything also. so i narrowed it down from not a bad motor and not a bad switch so what else could be wrong? ohhh also the passenger switch will lock the door but it's verry weak i have to click it like 5 times to make it completely unlock or lock. Sometimes ill get a burst and it'll work in one try. any suggestions are appreciated.. thanks.
 
If you checked your motor and its fine then maybe the wiring is weak / coming apart if i was you just get doors from your nearby junk
 
I would suggest that you check the wiring to ensure it is free from corrosion. A bad wire may be causing all of your problems. Here's a diagram in case you need it.

I've had a similar issue and the problem turn out to be a bad driver side window switch -even though the driver side window working completely just fine.

I don't know if this is your problem but you may want to look over the wiring diagram provided in your Haynes Manual. If my memory serves, the diagram will show that the passenger side window switch in ran through the driver side switch and so through a process of elimination you can work out what the likely culprit is by verifying what works and what does not.

Note however, that you can indeed control the passenger window from the driver side switch, so it stands to reason that they must be wired together; right.
