Thanks for the tip. I checked the wiring and switches with the door panel off. I then wiggled the rubber door boot and the passenger side worked when pulled up. It seems I will have to cut into that boot and use the process of elimination to make a permanent fix. For now it is working again-- but for how long?

Any other suggestions welcome to narrow down my search for the solution. Which wires to check first etc..
