Front passenger window could not roll down

I thought the motor was bad so I ordered one. But it did not seem to work.

Also, I took another switch from my friend and found out that the switch was good. Then probably the cable was bad? I am wondering how that works. It can only go up, not going down. Does that mean one cable controls the up direction, the other controls the down direction which is bad? How can I check that?

I suspect that also. How did you have yours fixed? How much did it cost?

My right front would not work and I could not roll it down either from the passenger side or driver side switch.

I did not quite get it. I pulled the rubber and then the wires can be seen. But nothing happened after I pressed the switch a lot of times. What else have you done? If the wire is broken, you replaced it?
