Seems like the motor's failed, as the pins in the plug are live, depending on position of switch but 12v direct to motor plug has no effect. All I'm interested in doing right now is getting the glass up - but how?

Normally, you would roll up the window halfway and get access to that pesky bolt. Since it's down all the way some of the door structure may also block access.
Is the motor part bolted or riveted to door? If bolts, you might be able to unbolt the motor from the door. The other side of the motor bolts/screws to the "winder" (not sure what it's called) part. If you had crank windows, there would be a stem in there that attached to the crank handle. You may be able to use something to manually crank the window up.
Have a look at: https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/par..._related_parts/door_rear_glass_regulator.html
It has been a few years since I changed out a rear door window, or brought one home from the junkyard. The first thing to do is remove the rubber trim/glass wiper from the bottom edge of the movable glass, both inside and out. You now have more room to maneuver things about and you can see what is going on inside the door shell. If I recall correctly, with no power, or a broken regulator, unbolt everything from the door frame, and move the mechanisms off to one side, the glass should drop down. If at this point you are having no success, remove the smaller fixed glass, and the rubber C channel the movable glass rides in, and the movable glass can be pulled up and out of the door.
Might replace the switch if I can find one for sensible money but, are the individual switches in the driver's panel replaceable? A RHD switch panel's not going to be (a) easy to find (b) cheap - &,of course, it might not be the switch.
On a 98 like yours, I'm not sure - they might have gone to mounting all of them on a circuit board (in which case you'd have to desolder the dead one and solder on a replacement. I'd have to have one in my hand (either LHD or RHD, I'm sure they're both built the same way) to know.
Does the RHD actually use a different part number, or did they just use the same exact part on the other door? Seems to me like it'd be cheaper to use the same master switch panel and just change the RF door panel on the RHD to accept it, but what do I know? I'm an engineer and I try to make the world around me conform to logic and common sense... :looser:
