Hey Ive got a 1983 Ford Mustang that i just bought. The passenger window wont go up. neither the passenger or driver switches will lift the window. I was able to hot wire the window up but am unsure how to fix this problem. Do i need new switches?

Motor works if you got it up on its own power. Where did you jump/hot wire from, at the door or at the switch? Careful what you do "hot wiring things" in general.
The motor works by reversing polarity to it for which direction it will spin and window go up or down accordingly.
Follow the path to find where it quits and with a plain test light you can watch switch work or not from back side of them.
Being of some age now some issues more common to a driver's door are wires that go thru the door jam where they bend frequently break either just inside insulation or a total cut. From kick panel to inside door you can check for continuity or fuss with exposing the rubber snorkel and see wires inside.
While checking know how to use a test light to check for ground as that's added to reverse motor direction thru wire not just the door hinge being trusted for a ground,
