Does the window roll down if you use the driver side control for the passanger side window?

Also, did this issue start as an intermittend problem (like it wouldn't work one day then the next it suddenly worked) or it just died one day and never worked again?

That's the way I got it. And the cable came out of the regulator and a guy said it probly won't work right again so would be best to just get another setup. And I don't have power from passenger side but the driver side works whenever it wants to but won't move the window

Sounds like you will need to get a new regulator and you are suffering from a bad driver side switch. The contacts inside of the switch will corrode so what happens is the switches themselves will work when they want to and the passanger switch lock out button (oval switch at the top) stays on even though it's not depressed causing your other window switches on the other doors not to work. What I did to mine is I took it off the door pannel when it was acting up (driver side switch) and soaked the heck out of it with wd40 from the switch face side (get into every switch with the little straw) and work the switches a lot. Mine works again for now but eventually you will be stuck getting a new driver side switch.

You also will need to clean the connectors that go to the switch with some electronic parts cleaner and either spray them with WD40 or apply some silicon grease so they won't start corroding again right away. If that doesn't fix the issue of the driver side switch working but your passenger side switch not working you either have the same corrosion issue on the other side or the passenger lock out button on the drive side burned out. There are a ton of you tube videos that show how to bypass that circuit inside of the switch.

Again, eventually you will end up having to eat the cost of a new switch. I wouldn't trusts a junk yard switch because they sit in the rain and corrode ending up with the same problem... start with the WD40 though. I plan on running my switch till it gives out completely since new drive side ones are 180 bucks...

If you pull the circuit board/controls from your driver door and add solder to the connections this can fix controls not working (can't tell if that's what your issue is, but can't hurt). Wires in the door jamb might need to be fixed first. This guy explains it great:
