reach up top, find the search box, and type in power window help

or get creative and use advanced options, and choose sc300/400 models for extra joy.

Mine does something similar. The passenger side window rolls up/down a lot slower than the drivers side (2-3 seconds) regardless of which side you do it from.
Mine might be a motor issue, but yours could be fried wiring or something of the sort.

Check the fuzzy strip that touches the glass from the inside... when it starts to go bad it doesnt let the glass come down freely and strains the motor, when the motor strains too much it will stop so you wont burn the motor.

but what is weird is that the passenger can use the power windows and will go up and down but from the drivers side I can only bring the window back up NOT down!!!

soaring it sounds like your drivers side switch has bit the dust.
if your window operates fine from the passenger side,
one of ordinary skill in the art would easily derive the problem either lies with
the swith itself or the wire connected to it.

good luck!!
