window issue help anyone that can

how many fuse boxes are there in a mk3 2 or 3. i see 2 of them and the dont have any fuses for power windows or door locks. anyways i ask because i am having a issue with my passenger side window. it wont roll up for some reason it worked fine to roll it down and now it wont roll backup. i dont want it to be the motor but if it is , is it a easy fix? i wanted to find a fuse for it and cross my finger that it was a fuse cause i mean it just died without any stuggling or anything. any help would be appreciated. me an my brother cleaned out the switch with steel wool and it still doesnt work.

When you push the window up button while the car is idling, do the revs change slightly?
If so, the window motor is trying to draw power so it's not a fuse issue.
I had this problem which i fixed last weekend. The sprocket on the electric motor somehow jammed on the teeth of the window winding mechanism that it moves along. I just pulled the window winding mechanism out and freed it up. now it works fine.
Hope it's that easy for you too.

Not sure if you have the same issue, but mine was doing the same thing and it turned out the connection at the switch had some rust/wear. I sanded it down and now the window works fine.
