Sounds like a bad regulator on the passenger side. I would say check the ground wire connections, but there arent any. The wiring is completely coupled into connectors, up to the main harness. You could check to make sure the passenger door is grounded well, in that you dont have a lot of solvents on the hinges, but thats as far as that will go.

I'd look for a broken wire in the drivers door bundle between the door & the pillar...

the power is going to the ground because the switch reverses the polarity to make the motor change directions. i would swap the switch,if it is only working in one direction you know the motor is good
