Passenger Window Motor Won't Budge!
Hi guys,
This is my first post in these forums. I just recently traded my GTI for a G35!
The issue im experiencing isn't like any that ive read about online. My passenger window won't roll up or down with either side (driver/passenger) switch, I took out the motor and tested it on the drivers side and it works!! What could be the cause of this?
Things I've tried:
-Purchasing a new motor
-Reseting the windows
-Hard reseting the car (positive wire on battery to negative)
-Disassembling the connector and connecting each individual wire to designated connection on motor
Any help is appreciated!

Have you used a voltmeter to check for blown fuses?

You said in your post the motor worked on the driver's side correct? So, that shows the motor is still good. It doesn't move from either the master or passenger switch. I don't have a wiring diagram in front of me, but I highly doubt both switches are wired in series or bad at the same time.
Have you tried just unscrewing the motor from the passenger side and press the button to see if the motor moves, while it's still plugged in?
If all the above checks out it's either a window regulator, something on the window track, some kind of fuse/relay, or possibly a shorted out wire. But, since you stated yourself that it's hard to move the window with the motor out, I'd lean towards the regulator or something with the window itself. You should be able to move a window up/down pretty freely/easy when the motor is disconnected.

I was looking at the wiring diagram and the FSM it's appears it could also be one of the three: BCM, passenger window switch, or the wiring/harness.
It looks like that no matter whether you activate the switch from the driver or passenger side it still goes through the passenger side switch. I'd inspect the wiring or try replacing that switch first if you can find a cheap used one. Do the door locks and all that other stuff work?
