need help asap! Window will go down but not up!

[stealthtt24]

I'm getting my windows tinted and my back passenger window will go down but not up. I have the door skim off and I tried another switch with no luck. Any help????

Also, the will not go up even if I try and push it.

The contacts inside the switch probably have some corrosion or dirt on them. Have you tried the switch for the window and not the master switch?

Just take the master switch apart and clean the contacts with sandpaper. I used my dremel tool with one of my abrasive wheels and it works good now. But in taking it apart I lost the spring to the window lock button so that doesn't work anymore. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif

The switch at the driver door doesn't do anything, while the switch at the inoperable door just go down. When u say master you mean the driver door with all the switches right?

I've got two little switches for the rear door, both roll the window down not up.

Just tried my front driver switch which works, same result.

I find it hard to believe that the contacts in all your switches have corroded. Are all your windows doing this or just the one?

 

[stealthtt24]

Just the rear passenger window. So the switches are good.

Mark,

Since you already have the door panel off, you can nake a couple of jumper wires and power up the motor directly.

Just unplug the connector at the motor, eyeball the connector terminals, and make up a pair of wires that you can plug onto the terminals at the motor. (Make sure they are insulated from each other)

Be sure to use a fuse on the power side of the jumper wire set!

That should get the window up, and then you can troubleshoot things at your convience

So on my way home it was working fine. Up and down, both switches. I go back and park it and stops working.

Maybe a short in one of the electrical cables?

 

[stealthtt24]

Well it works all the time when the car is in motion. How weird!

 

This same thing happens to my passenger window, master switch does nothing though, the passenger door switch
will make the window go down but not up. the only thing I have found that makes it go back up is pressing both
the master switch and the passenger switch at the same time. Does that work for you too? If it does it has to be
somthing faulty in the master switch?

 

[stealthtt24]

On my master switch, the window will ALWAYS roll down or up when the car is in motion. As soon as you come to a stop light bam, will not roll up only down. f***ing weird.

Take the master switch apart and clean the copper connects inside with sand paper or emery cloth or something along those lines. Careful its easy to lose pieces.

Have you tried another master switch to see if that's the problem or if its something else? I can find you one at a junk yard if you don't have access to one.

I have a spare laying around, ill try it next week as I'm on vacation. This isnt a priority as I need to track down my idle surge and fix some boost leaks. I'll update the thread when I try the spare out though.

I had this problem and it was a broken wire in the door harness. Just to add a data point.
