I have a 96 Honda Civic LX sedan which has a problem with a passenger side
rear window. The window goes down but now cannot be raised. This problem was
intermittent for a while, where we were able to raise the window after
letting the car sit without the engine running for a few minutes. But now
that doesn't work either. All the other power windows and the rest of the
electrical system work fine. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

The power circuit goes through both the switch in the door and the
corresponding switch in the driver's panel. Try the passenger's control,
then the driver's control. If the driver's control works it is the actual
suspect, because the other side of the switch (the one that makes contact
when the switch is centered) probably has failed. Ditto if the passenger
switch works and the driver's doesn't - the working one is the suspect.
Non-intuitive, eh?

Doesn't sound good. It sounds like it's the regulator.
