Passenger window switch not working

Try the yellow wire to the window with a reliable ground. If the window goes up and or down then the wire is fine. Then it is a problem further down the line. Pick up a Hanes manual or the window wiring diagram. Go old school and manually trace the wiring backwards. Constantly check the window at each junction. It is a pain in the butt but it will lead you to the problem. Also check each union for corrosion. Sometimes the unions get funky and have to either be replaced or cleaned with a wire brush. After you clean them apply dielectric grease to both sides. Hope this helps?

That was one of the first things I did was check the driver side switch for the yellow wire for the passenger switch but it does not come from anywhere in the driver side window switch assembly

The cause of my problem is no power at the passenger side window switch via the heavy gauge yellow wire. I pulled apart the connector at the door jamb and verified there's no power coming into the door from the jam. I probably just run a new wire from the circuit breaker to the door.

Get a wiring diagram for your window and find out what the yellow wire is for. You might bypass another feature on your truck that is connected to your window wiring. Best to know what that wire is for? Wire chasing... I know how to do it and I hate doing it. Valuable skill but a headache.
I've got an 04 ram 4 door and the passenger switch randomly stopped working. I tried wiggling the wires like some suggested and got nothing. I read where some also said it could be a bad master switch so I replaced the switch and still nothing. I can roll every window up/down on the master switch and the rear window switches both work fine. It's only the passenger side switch that won't work. The door lock button works, but the window switch doesn't work and is not lit up. Any ideas?

Sorry I just realized I hijacked the thread. But I was hoping the OP had the same problem as me. I bet when i spend some more time under the dash I find it was something i did all along. Like cut a wire or something installing an aftermarket amp or the foglights or my ambient under dash lights. Im gonna get under there today. maybe take some pics for entertainment.

That's all the really matters.
