Default Unresponsive window, switch or motor?

Passenger side window has been finicky for awhile and is now unresponsive.

In the past I was able to rapidly hit the switch a number of times and it would eventually react and work fine for the rest of the day without issue. Now I can't get anything from it.

The motor never made any complaining sounds so im leaning towards the switch but If it's "always" the motor then ill start there.

Easiest thing is to get a multimeter and test the switch, then, if that checks out, test the motor at the door.

Are all those windows have separate fuses? Mine was working when the door was closed and when its open, the wondow wont work, now its completely dead. Seems like same as King's problem.

can't you switch switches and check. That's easy on mine as the switch housing plate thingy is 'easily accessible'.
