Besides not going up and down from the passengers button, is it OK? Do the gears slip on the coil (chain)? Often when the motor gears slip, it´s at the bottom of the travel. If you put a small hose clap at the bottom of the coil (chain) guide (stop it half an inch higher), you can probably get years more service out of it. Spray the inside the door window runners with a dry lubricante, dry silicon or graphit. Spray as much of the coil guide as you can get to with chain oil. The slot points outwords, hard to get a big can of spray in there, small can works better (you can also try a small brush and lithium grease). Darn window motors cost as much as a new tire.
sorry not enough info. it did go half way down realy slow then i had to help it back up. now the pass switch works but not at the plug (swaped with door lock switch). the drivers side works all the way to the plug. but it still dosn't want to work for me is there a seperate ground for the motor?

There is only two wires going to the motor, one for up and one for down. The window switch is a double switch. You´d probably be better off trying a rear window switch, to test with.
Most times when the window sticks, it´s a twisted, loose or worn out window runner. Sometimes the rubber at the door (top) opening pops off and gets stuck.
Another sore spot to check is where the two wires go into the window motor, little black plastic box. Vibration wears through the wire there, it will eventually break and fall off, there may only be a few strands of wire holding the wire together (low current flow). If your wire is frayed there, I can talk you through the fix. You will probably need a flashlight and mirror to check it out. Cutting the plastic at the access opening (on three sides) then tapeing with heating duct tape, works better than trying to remove the plastic wind break. replaceing the motor connections, takes an hour or so, but a whole lot cheaper than a replacement motor.
While your in the door, glue down the runner felt (contact cement) dry lube the runner and gease (chain oil) the coil (chain) inside the housing.
