    All of my windows roll up and down except the front passenger window...the back passenger only works with the back passenger door switch but it works lol. But the front passenger doesn't work at all. Where is the motor located and how can I troubleshoot it ?

    Once you pull the door panel you will see access holes in the door, you should be able to peek in there and find the motor. I would unplug it and test the plug from the switches with a multimeter and see if you are getting power from either switch. If not I would trace the wiring back, are the switches getting power? etc. If the motor is getting power but not working I would source another window motor and start the fun of trying to get that contraption out of the door.

    Once you get the window/motor issue resolved it helps to keep the tracks clear of debris or sticky residue. WD40 has some nice cleaning/lube properties that have worked for me especially on older vehicles.

    I agree most likely a wiring issue.
    The passenger (front R/S) window does not work with any switch - master or R/S switch?
    tell us your wiring comfort level -
    We can get you the wiring diagrams if you can use the diagram and a test light.

    If you still have nose wiring diagrams that would be great... But I ran a multimeter on the two connectors for the door locks and the power windows. I get power from the door locks connector and have no voltage for the window connector. There are also three wires that were damaged in the wiring of the door hinge, they also do not have power running in them

    Sounds like you may not need a new power window motor. The damaged wires may have affected a fused circuit .

    Repair the damaged wires > use multi meter to confirm 12V power to PW motor

    The wires were connected when I tested the voltages with a multimeter and I got no reading...
