Default 98 passenger power window problem

hi, as of yesterday my passenger side window decided to stop working on me. I have power windows and rolled it down yesterday morning, then tried to roll it up later only to have it not work at all. I took off the panel and checked around the wires, nothing looked frayed or broke in any way in the door itself. I even went to LKQ and grabbed another door from a 98 and swapped out thinking it was the power window motor, once I swapped the door, still didn't work, I was able to get the window to roll down(I stopped before it went down too much), but it wont roll up on the swapped out door as well.
Please help, any ideas, to me it seems like an electrical issue now, and if so any thoughts on the color of the wire used to control the window rolling up?
FYI checking the fuses was the 1st thing I did and they were all intact

Default Re: 98 passenger power window problem

Broken wires between the driver's door and the rest of the car are the most common power window problem. The circuit for the passenger window also goes through the drivers door. These wires flex every time the door is opened, and since the driver's door is opened a lot more than the passenger's, it wears out first.

Open the driver's door and while holding the button down, wiggle the wires between the door and the frame. See if that makes the window work.

You can also get the window closed by jumping a battery direct to the window motor.
