Default power window failure

My 2008 passenger windows won't go down in the front or the back, the drivers controls won't work for both passenger windows, the front passenger window controls don't work however the rear passenger control does work... when i press the button for the window i can tell that its still draining power through the a/c and lights. i changed the fuse its not that, so is it the motor or regulater ? or something else i can't think of?

I have a 2008 Dakota as well and I have had to replace the window motor 3 times already for the same problems. For some reason the motor get full of water and short out. Sounds like there is a design flaw with the window seal or something letting the water through. Sorry to say but your gonna need to replace the motor.

I had to replace the passenger side on my 2007 as well. You can do it yourself and save some money. I just did one on my Grand Cherokee too.
