Default Windows switch front passenger side repair

When I use the master switch to control passenger side windows does not works good. If I press up it goes down and don't wants to come up. But the switch passenger side alone don't works either. So I install master switch to the passenger side it works up and down. Means switch no good. I ordered Nais CR2-12V Relay from Aliexpress to replace with the old one in the switch. Hope it will work. Here is some pictures after I disassemble the switch.

Great fix!! I just finished replacing the relay (CR2-12v) on my front passenger window control board. My window now goes up and down without a hitch. Saved probably well over $500.

Ordered 2 relays (only needed one from AliExpress for $14 including shipping. Ships from mainland China. Received in less than 2 weeks. Bought solder iron & desoldering pump, and solder (0.032 came with solder iron) from Amazon for $20. Total cost of repair = $34.

Was a little bit of work trying to remove old relay since the desoldering pump I bought wasn't so good. Eventually got relay off. Then had to make sure holes for new relay connection were open. There are 7 connections (4 on one edge & 3 on the other). Think you have to be careful not to mess up other components on the plate. I mistakenly touched other components with the solder iron but fortunately it didn't screw things up. Anyway, here are a couple of pics of the relay.. Let me know if anyone has Qs.

I have the opposite problem! My master switch is able to roll up my rear passenger window but the switch for the rear passenger window cannot role up the window. Anyone can shed some light on this? Appreciate it!

I have solved the same issue at passenger side. The same solution is to replace the relay of CR2-12V. Now the problem is that it is hard to get one, because it is discontinued since 2010.
I've been trying the Aliexpress route for few months via different sellers too, and wait for refunding. They are all out of stock.
I found some body is selling the relay CR2-12V in Taiwan. If you really want to get one, you can go on eBay. But it is very expensive, the seller calls for $120/ each plus $30 for shipping.
