if you can hear a click when you push the button for up/down then the switch is good.
if you dont hear a click then take the door panel off and make sure your window amp, switch, and motor are all plugged up and there.
if you cant figure it out, go to the junkyard and grab a few switches and window amps and put them in your pocket and go.

when i push the button down there is no click and i dont think its the hook ups cause neither side works and i was planning on going to the junkyard tomorrow anyway cause everything at my local u-pull-it yard is half off for the next few days
I know this is going to sound like a stupid response but I'm not trying to insult you. Make sure the window lock button isn't on. I only say this because I loaned my car to a friend once and he hit it by accident and thought he broke my power windows. You would think it only locks the passenger window but it actually disables both.

not hard to replace window motor at all. takes about 5 min if u kno wat ur doin if not it will still take u 10 min. 240's are the easiest car u can mess wit.
the problem I had with mine was carbon build up on the switch itself. if you can get the switch apart and a very fine grit of sand paper to clean the connections. If that doesn't fix it then it could be any of the problems suggested above.
Hopefully this helps

my passenger window just took a shit on me so now i will spend the next few hours of life playing with that.
Sometimes it's the simplest things...
Not to insult you in anyway, but since I haven't heard anyone mention this yet, have you checked the fuse?
I had the same problem on my van the other week and I checked once before to see if it was the fuse, but it read negative.
Felt like checking it again several days later... and kaboom! there was the problem. Replaced a fuse and everything worked. Don't know why it didn't read the first time...

hey, I have the same problem, My window on the driver side wont go down. I took it apart and then i started to hit the button, and i hear clicks from that little box near the end of the door ( Im assuming thats the amp?) anyways I should just replace the amp? is that the case?
