So, when it is dead, there is no motor spinning - just click on the button and nothing happens?... this is for the front right window? how about the other windows? locks? any other things that you may have noticed?

the issue could be as benign as kinked/shorted wire, all the way to the iBus conflict on line where the GM module does not decipher the commands coming from the switches - those window switches do NOT directly operate the window motors, they send a coded message via iBus to the system, the message is picked up by the GM, deciphered and then another command is send to run the motor. and anything in-between, like bad switch or something... which is less likely, as both, left and right work fine, and then both don't work at all...

Do you have iBus reader?
