I own a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe....the electric windows worked fine when I bought it last December but now the passenger side front does not work at all.....the rest work well.....can this be an in-line fuse or is it the panel on the driver's door that's bad?.......thanks for the answer in advance....Steve

First, with the engine not running, watch the dome light very closely when you activate the window switch. If it dims very slightly, the motor is trying to run. That indicates the wiring is okay. If the light doesn't dim at all, it is most likely a broken wire between the door hinges. Switch contacts could be bad too but that is much less common.
