Default Passenger side window is not functioning!! 2nd time this has happened!

So about 3 months ago, my passenger side window wouldn't go down or up. Did some research and bought a new window motor. All was well.
Well just today, it started acting up again. This time, the passenger side window is completely down, putting the key in the keyhole and turning right doesn't work, tried using the driver side switch, it doesn't work.

I do hear a click whenever I try rolling the passenger window down or up using the passenger switch. Could it be the window motor again? I'm surprised it went bad this quick already.

If anyone has any tips, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Well, here's the million dollar question... when you replaced it last time, did you get a cheap motor from your local parts store or an OEM motor?

i had replaced 3 months ago, back in May. I bought a replacement motor from autozone with a lifetime warranty.

I just checked the window again, and apparently it's magically working now. Not sure what to make of it. Could it be a switch issue?

I'd swap it out if it has a warranty.

yeh, i'll prob just end up doing that if it starts acting up again. They tried to sell me on that the window regulator was the issue and that I needed to buy that instead but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with that.
