Window Switch
Always something...... i went to roll the windows down and the passenger side decied it dident want to go down. First i rolled down my driver window while sitting in the driver seat using the driver window control. Went to roll the passenger side down using the driver window control and nothing. I hit a red light leaned over and rolled the passenger window down using the passenger window control. Im shure its in the driver side switch but what should i replace?????

Check the wiring on each side of the switch for power as you press the button.

Ok so i pushed in the wires to the plug part and the switch on my side started working again. Bout two days after i pushed them in it stoped. So i pushed them in again and got bout a day out of it. So my cousin sittin in the passenger seat rolled it down and went to roll it back up as i was explaining the prolbem i been having with the switch on my side and damn if the passanger side wouldent roll the window up. So we pushed the wires up in the passenger switch and got it to roll up. So what now????? I cant be having a window that wont roll up. Any new suggestions

Something is needed to hold those wires in position once you've got them positioned and windows working correctly.
I dunno what though, white glue/toothpick/crimp the wire holder thingy tighter?? I'm no electronical guru, just shade tree kinda meckanick.
But its worked for these past 10 yrs, 260k miles, pulling 15k around the country.

ok i just found a thread that told me i could take out the motor and push up the window. so i went out and took the motor out and slid up the window. in the same thread it told you how to take tho motor appart and clean the brushes. i took the motor appart cleaned the entire motor put it all back together. plugged it in and i still have the same prolbem. it will roll down but will not roll up with the passenger side switch. the switch on the driver side will not do anything for the passenger side window. im wondering if i shoul get a new motor? or is ther something else going on. Because like i said...... using the driver side switch to roll the passenger side window up or down dose nothing at all. the passenger side switch will roll the window down but not up.

i had the same problem with my passenger window. what i did is i slaved in the back passenger window switch to the front and that fixed the problem. i left the bad switch in the rear because i havent got around to geting a new switch. the back window is now the dead one but that is better than the front. hope this helps...

1.same prolbem meaning the window would roll down but not up using the passenger side control switch?
2. what about the switch on the driver side for the passenger window? mind dose nothing. did you have the same prolbem? if so when you swapped switches did the driver side begin to work again?

It started out intermittently and it liked to roll down more then up and then one day it quit working all together. I ripped the door apart thinking it was a motor and on a hail marry I swapped them and it fixed it. the driver side master worked and the passenger worked. the driverside still won't roll down the now dead back passenger. swapping switches is easy so I would hive that a try. let me know...
