Default Passenger Side Windows Work Intermittently

My passenger side windows seem to be working only part of the time, if ever. They worked fine about a year ago and then one day decided to act up. this was about the same time my power locks went out as well. I'm at a loss aat what to do.

I've tried checking all the fuses and connections and everything seems fine. I did the window lock bypass and gained functionality of my driverside rear switch. I've noticed that I can hear the motor.something click when i flip the switches to roll them down, but nothing happens when I try to raise them.

Thanks.

Forgot to mention its a '97.

Besides of the obvious possibility of bad connection SOMEWHERE and worn brushes in the motor, the most common cause is a broken wire in the sock (the rubber thingi between the door and body). The last one also would be the easiest to fix.

I have this issue with my 2 door and I have narrowed the problem down to a bad connector in the window lock out button. I haven't had the chance to take apart my seemingly unobtanium to fix it yet. but that's where I'd start.
