Power window works half way??

[IwantMKIII]

Well i let my mom drive my car today for fun. We were just messing around and had the windows down since it was warm only when i got back home the passenger window didn't go back up. Neither switch would work. I tried pushing it to go down and heard a click but none going up. I took apart the door and put it up manually (no switch, hooked it directly to battery). The motor works fine. I tested the window switches again and they only work when the window goes down, neither will work going up. Again i hear no click when i press the up button which seems to me like a relay problem...any suggestions on a fix?

I had the same problem years back ...It would go down but not up.

I just replaced the passengers side switch and it worked fine....or was it the drivers side?...Apparently if one of the switches dont work it wont let the other switch move the window up. You will need to check the wiring diagram to find out which side siwtch is the one.

Cheers,
Roy

Take it apart and clean the metal contacts inside of it. They get dirty after 15+ years.

Yup, clean the contacts. Mine did the same thing and I replaced the drivers side master switch, then I found out that you can clean it and it will work again.

^you mean just take out the switch and clean the contacts or take the switch itself apart and clean that??
