Passenger Window wont go up.

[JDMMA70]

I used to not be able to roll up the passenger side window from the drivers side, so i used the passenger side switch to roll up the window, but now i cant roll up the window from eaither side. I had to fiddle with the passenger side switch to get it to go up. What could be the problem?



Thanks

time to look for new switches and check the wire connections

Take off the switches and clean the contacts. Takes about 5 minutes. Driver side is a bit more involved... but the same concept.

First, make sure you have power to the switch (pass. side). If so, take off the switch, there are 2 wires in the connector. Swap their placement in the connector, then try putting the window up. If this is the case, bad switch. If I am not mistaken, the pass. switch grounds through the master switch (driver). It could be just a bad driver side master switch.

Also, make sure your window lock is not pressed. I accidently had it pressed and locked the power window on the passenger side and i thought my switch was messed up. So i had taken out the passenger side switch to clean it but then i saw the window locked button i just unlocked it and it works fine again. Lol, yea it was a stupid mistake but it is well worth just checking it.

Incidentally, when the driver's side switch "fails" it's usually the passenger side switch that's the problem. This is because the use of the driver's side switch requires that the neutral position on the passenger side make 2 separate contacts. The reverse is also true for the passenger side switch. The switch in position only requires one contact, and is under more pressure, so that way, it generally works better.

This is done so that someone pressing one switch down, while the other switch is up doesn't result in a short circuit, just the motor doing nothing.

Clean the passenger side switch first. It's easier, and more likely to be the problem.

Edit: Also make sure to use dielectric grease on the contact bars, or you'll be doing it again in 3 months... Ask me how I know...
