yeah, i got the motor replace. now my front passenger side switch is not working. from the master switch, it rolls up and down with no proble. but the switch on the froont passenger side is not really doing anything. i try to clean the switch, then hook it up. the window move up and down very slowly, then it stop working again. so i bought a switch on ebay. THEN, i found out that little switch is for right rear and left rear, so i'm screw(stupid me). so does anybody know if the little switch is compitable with the front passenger.

Ok, I've got a funny one guys...

It's concerning my passenger side window...

I can control it up and down by using my master control switch (driver's side), but, when I use the passenger side control, I can only roll the window up. It will not allow me to roll it down unless I use the master switch.

Could this also be a bad connection within the switch itself, or just a bad switch all together?

Thanks!

most likely, because the little cover piece for the switch might be worn out. and i refer this piece as the piece that where your finger touches. so yeah, you could just get a new switch. because it works for me.
p.s. stop hijacking other peoples thread, lol

LOL - sorry bro, I just wanted to make another thread about a similar issue. It's a waste of space.

hey guys, just updating for all of you. my switches came in today, and now all my windows work like they are new.
so if you have windows problem, this might be a cheap fix or at least should try this before spending hundreds of dollars on a motor

i'm not sure which switch you are talking about, but i do have the master switch from the driver side, pm me if you are interested.
p.s. the trim piece doesn't stay on the switch, so you need to glue it together.
