Since, apparently, neither the driver's door switch nor the passenger side switch currently operates the passenger side window... You have four (4) distinct potential sources of culprits: 1. Driver's side switch for passenger window 2. Broken wire to passenger side switch 3. Broken/stuck window regulator 4. Broken passenger side window motor I just replaced a broken( SPROING! ) driver's side window regulator, a passenger side window motor, AND cleaned the switches on BOTH sides on our Carat. The regulator and motor R&R process can be a bitch IF you don't know what you're doing :-)... likewise dismantling and reassembling the malfunctioning power window pivot switches. Bentley helped...some.
