Before anyone jumps on me, i did RTFM. Can't figure out this issue. I think it may be a mechanical issue.

The passenger side front window will roll up and down from the switch on the driver side. But on the passenger side front door, the switch will only roll the window up, but not down. When I try to get it to roll up, it sounds like the motor is going, but it isn't doing anything...

Any hints or tips? Do I have a bad switch or do I need to go replace the regulator and motor? Seems like when I use the driver side, everything runs correctly...

lol... dxb... I'm beginning to suspect it's a switch, and not the motor or regulator since it seems to work properly from the driver side... At first I was thinking maybe there was some way to reset it... but I don't know.

Thanks, glad to know others have worse luck than I do...

I guess I'll just order a switch and try to replace it myself... anyone have a DIY link to opening up a door panel?
