power window troubleshooting

I have a 1998 ford explorer sports. the Passenger side power window went down and wont come back up. I dont hear the motor run when I push switch. The drive side window works fine. Is it the switch or motor? or is it something else?

you will probably find a broken wire in the accordion connection, door/body. Add a cple of inch to the culprit, solder, shrink wrap and be happy again.
