Default 03 Pass Door Window.. no worky

My 03 RC just developed a dead window control on the passenger side. The drivers side works both fine. I'm usually alone in the truck so it could have been a few weeks since my g/f used it last.

Anything simple it could be?

You may want to operate the window controls and listen for the window motor. if you hear it then it may be a simple fix. If not then you may need to access the door. It aways seem to be the Pass side. This is because the owner get in on the other side and doesn't slam to door like there closing a tank. I make my girlfriend ride in the back if she slams the door to hard. She broke the pass window in my last Dodge 5.2 V8.

mine use to go off and on sometimes. i started messing with the passanger side controls and nothing. finally got this idea that it could be the driver sie window lock button. sure enough the window loc button wasnt working properly. a few good smacks and my windows work fine. now i just dont use the window lock feature.....no more problems

If the drivers side controls operate both window fine then it sounds more like a switch on the pass. side, if that checks out ok, it could be the window lock control on your drivers door. Usually when the windows are locked, the drivers controls usually override the lock and can be opened and closed at any time.

possibly a loose connector in the drivers side door, which would simulate the window lock being on.

It could be either side switch. The power for the passengers side runs through the drivers side switch...

I have no lock switch for the windows in a regular cab...

Investigating a little further today.. i swapped fuses and no change. All functions work on the drivers door. The passenger door lock doesnt work. It tries to lock/unlock but doesnt have enough power. The window control is dead and silent.

What now?
