Default Eclipse Electric Window Circuit

Greetings! I had to take a break from the timer project....

Now I am troubleshooting an electric window circuit. The drivers side
works fine. Passenger window motor will not energize. I have already
checked the entire circuit from the ignition switch to the input to the
motor and switches and 12V circuit are fine. rocker switches both send
12V to the last connector shown on this diagram at the motor -- see bottom
right on this diagram from Haynes...

The window is down and I can't figure out how to raise it so I can pull
the parts out.

Before I do that, I want to check to be sure the motor is grounded, but
can't find any schematic showing where the ground is connected.

Anyone have an idea where it could be grounded?

As clearly shown in the first drawing, the motor is not grounded.
That is because the motor needs to be run in both directions.
So, the ground path is through the reversing switch.
The passenger's side is more complex because there are switches
on both doors to control it.
