Normally it’s the driver’s side that bites the dust first. I had a car with poor power windows in Asia, and it was normally the motor burning out that caused the failure. However, have a mechanic check if it is not a blown fuse or corroded connection, and if so, what caused the fuse to blow?

After 12 good years it’s entrely possible the motor has just gone belly-up. You’ll need to pull the iner door panell and check for voltage at teh motor to confirm that.

OR perhaps the window regulator broke or became disconnected or jammed OR the switch wiring needs to be inspected likely where the wires go between the door and the door jam.
