Default window problems

Hey guys,
I'm having problems with my windows not wanting to go up with the main control (driver's side). The passenger and rear left windows wont go up...I can put them down with the main control, but won't go up. I really don't know if its each individual window, or if its the main control that's broke. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help in advance.

I took my main switch apart and cleaned it with a small piece of sand paper and brushed it out. Be careful there are a lot of springs. I heard that electronic parts cleaner may help.

Yes, they all go fine when using their independent switch. So I guess I can start by doing what jasonm suggested, cleaning the main control.

Thanks for the help.

If they go up fine from the other windows i would say the plastic prongs under the switch are broken that rocks the switch under it. If it was the contacts none of the switches for that window would work.
