Default 05' gx auto/up down driver window

Drivers side controls work on all windows correctly..... except for the auto up/down will not work on drivers window only. And as I write this I went outside and tried the reset procedure from drivers side panel and now it's intermittently working at all. Have to power cycle car to get it to move and some times it stops in the middle of being up or down. Had to power cycle car several times just to get it up.

So I tinkered some more. Disco'd battery. Seems to work again, but auto still not working on drivers window. and it seems just a tad slow.

Could this be bad switch/control at drivers side?

Maybe. But also could be a bad window regulator.

What happens when you use the remote to lower the windows?
  1. Lock the car
  2. Press unlock
  3. Press unlock and hold for 5+ seconds
Might also be worthwhile trying the key in the driver's lock.
  1. Lock the car
  2. Turn the key in the driver's lock to unlock, then release

When you hold it manually, how is the speed compared to the other front window?

Default Same issue

I’ve had issues with my master switch, and recently replaced it, and still have the same issue neither the key trick or the button works on mine. Which is a bit weird because with the old master switch I was able to get all but the driver window to open up. Any insight would be appreciated

my master switch caused the OP’s issue but I’ve never had the ability to roll my windows down from the remote... it beeps like it’s about too... but nothing happens after that.

Still gotta get that drivers door latch.
