Window won't roll up? Only from drivers side?
I've had an odd problem like this before, the passenger window would roll down but not up all the way, so I left the car alone for an hour and all was fine. This was a year ago.
Today I went to roll down my passenger side window after the beach and it rolled down fine. Go to roll it up and it won't come up. Although; this is only from the drivers side panel, when using the passenger switch, the window rolls up and down perfect. The drivers controls work perfect on all windows except the passenger window roll up function?
Any clues?
I'm just going to let it sit like a few hours like before I'm sure its just a small glitch and will be fine soon.
Update: An hour later still the same problem. It doesn't even sound like the car is trying to roll up the window from the driver's side. I don't hear a click or anything, I'll check it in the morning. Fingers crossed x

Damn now I'm scares I think it's the switch. Is it the whole switch that needs to replaced or just the one that controls the passenger window?

I'm pretty positive beneath my switch it isn't making good contact, when I push the button in on the inner part of the switch and pull up it works, but not on a regular pull. I have to take my car in to have my control arm bushings that are supposedly bad replaced too. Although, depending on how much its going to cost I might just leave em. How much does the switch normally cost?

If, IF I were to take the door panel off to get at the switch; I know I'd take it apart and clean the dirty or fix the worn contacts/worn circuit board traces and not buy a new switch. Even "sealed" switches can be cut open with a dremel tool and then glued back together. BTDT.

After playing with it a bit I can get it to roll up with the drivers side, as long as i pull up on the switch hard using the "auto roll up" feature. Doesn't bother me too much at all. I would only replace if it affected the driver side window.
Thanks for the tip mister!
