Default Passenger window stopped working

I got in my car today and rolled the windows down. When I got to my destination the passenger window will not roll up. I checked the fuses in the panel by the driver door and they are both good. Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

yep, your motor is probably dead. let it chill for an hour and it might start working again for a little while.

Yeah dude the window motors are weak fromt the factory .They are pretty light though in defense . Anyway I was able to nurse the window that went out in my car for a few weeks before it quit but it took a minutefor it to work .
Options now are to take it to a shop and pay north of about $200 like I was qouted or look around ebay and do it yourself for south of $50.

Get a $60 buck replacement from autozone. They have a lifetime warranty. I just spelled warranty like 5 different times and it doesnt seem right. oh well. And anyway the window motors are easy to replace yourself. My driver motor went out at 28,000 miles. My passenger is slow so I pre-emptively bought the passenger motor.

your window motor is junk, and needs to be replaced. Do a search and you will find detailed instructions on how to do this yourself. This is a very common problem for our cars, and many of us replace the oil and the window motors every 3000 miles...
