Pass window not working.  Grounds are good. Both sides getting power to switch.  When looing at socket there are 4 holes.  Upper left power, upper right ground. On the working side I get continuity on lower left and lower right, and little resistance when I run Ohm check (I know very little about this stuff) On the inop side, I get NO continuity on lower left and right sockets, and high resistance (151. sumthin)
 
Does this sound like a blown motor or a wiring issue?

Start at one end. Go to the motor and give one terminal power and the other ground. Then switch the wires around and do the same thing. The motors do not ground themselves. The switch will alternate which terminal gets power and ground.
I did not look but I also think that the windows have the breaker type of fuse. If you have two solver boxes on the fuse panel pull them and reinstall. Then you have nothng but switch and wires left and I would suspect the switch before wires. Unless you wried it Scott.
Sorry, I have not picked on you in a while.
