i highly doubt its the window motor since 1- its about 6 months old, 2-the window just took a **** on me..just stopped working (not like when the motor goes out, window stops, goes up 1/2 inch, stops etc..) mines just all of a sudden stopped functioning

but anyway...this is what i was thinking....since i can still control the passenger side window..does that mean that....(see illustration below)

Maybe the connector plug came undone from the window motor? Also its no so far fetched that the new motor would die again so fast, it happens alot with these cars. Take the door panel off an see if that plug came loose, start with the easy fix first.

I would jumper the wires from the switch to determine if it is the switch or not. If not the switch, then it is the express down module. It is located under the driverside dash above the hump. Black box with about 6 wires going to it in one plug.
