Do this test at night and with the door open so the interior lights are on.
Engine off.
Key in Run position.
Push the window down or up button while checking the lights.
If the lights dim slightly, (pay close attention, sometimes it's ever so slightly) it's the window regulator.
If they don't, then it's either the switch or the wiring.

Used OEM parts can be found in the parts section. I've had better luck with used OEM over new aftermarket. Just post a parts wanted message.

I did that and the interior lights dont dim and I hear a click come from the passenger side door, I assume the relay.
