Default power window not working, help!

quick background:

on my friends 1995 4dr accord, her driver side window stopped working. turned out that the switch became dirty, and after cleaning it, all was well again.

and now:

the passenger side window has stopped working, BUT it's suddenly stopped working from either the controls on the driver or the passenger side, leading me to beleive that it's not just a dirty switch? or does one switch depend on the other in some sort of series? are there individual fuses for each window motor? i'm just trying to get some ideas before i go over there and try to help her out.

thanks!

check the motor and the fuses - if the fuses then there is a short somewhere when your friend put back on the door panel

i'm sure she hasn't taken off the door panel, and it'd be unlikely that the motor would die, wouldn't it? so yeh, individual fuse per door, anyone know? or any other ideas.

and yeh, i posted it here, because all hondas have virtually the same setup.
