Default Window won't roll down!

My gf and I took our 944/2 toa carshow (where she got a ribbon) here in Denver, and the passenger window will not roll up now. I checked the fuses, all appear to be in good shape. Has anyone changed out the window motor, any idea how much this will cost, how much time, etc?
Thanks!

Start with the switches first. If the drivers side switch (for the passenger window) craps out, it will also disable the passenger side switch as they are in a circuit together. Swap the passenger side switch to the drivers side and see if that solves the problem. It should.

Thank you! I had no idea the drivers switch would disable the passenger switch, I'll see if I can take it off and clean it. Otherwise I'll just see if we can get a replacement.
Awesome!

Actually, Castle Rock... the Meadows, which is west of the outlet malls if you know Castle Rock. What kind of car do you have, hopefully a 944! Were you, by chance, in the car show at the Arapahoe Community College about a month ago? My gf's car got a ribbon, which surprised the heck out of us.

pull the switch off and try to clean the contacts, they build upcarbon on the contacts, make sure youput theit back together the same way ...or it could short out...
