did you try the window lock button on the driver side switch panel. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Mine are kind of wierd too. Half the time my front passenger side window won't roll up or down with either toggle. But when I open my driver side door and close it, the window will start working with both toggles again. I haven't looked into fixing it, I just open and close my door real quick to get it going again. I don't think my passenger window will go up or down if my driver side door is open either.
 

Man did you get your car from a junk yard? Any who use some contact cleaner and clean the switch contacts off.
 

^ red is right, this has worked for me in the past. But I ended up replacing mine for a working unit because of damaged clips (un-related). Open your driver window control box up, carefully and clean off those copper contacts.

The switches should pop up easily but if they do not just open the center console, slide the box out, and stick your arm in there to push the switches out from behind. No need to pry.

I just did this last night to fix my master window control problem. And in doing so I bent the tiny spring on the window lock button, so now my window lock button doesn't work. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif
