Power window sometimes works/doesnt.
Driver side passenger door doesn't want to go up with the switch found on that door, but it can go up with the driver seat door switch.

My driver door window had trouble of it going up yesterday, but later on that day it worked perfectly fine.

Anyone else experience this?

Sounds like a wiring issue!

Never with the passenger side. Driver side yes. Mostly because it was used more.

I would hit up a yard and get the master switch and see if that's the issue. But honestly, if it is a wire issue then spend the money and get a new one. I think they are like 80 or 90 bucks from the dealer.

Same thing is happening to the passenger side window on my car...it wont go up using the switch on the door, but I can put the window up/down fine from the drivers side switch. I figured it was the switch going out on the passenger side, or maybe the connections are loose and/or dirty. I've been too lazy to check it...:o

I have not experienced any issues with my drivers side window or switch...

Check the board inside the window amplifier casing. Mine was doing the same thing. Turns out some of the connections on the circuit board were loose and not creating a constant contact. Took the board out, grabbed some solder, and fixed it. Took about 5 mins once I isolated the issue.

THE PROBLEM IS ALSREADY STATED. one button gives more juice then the orignal button on the door which is the one that should be giving the most energy. the button on the door has contacts point within.. just clean them off or scrape lil bit off the point.. there should be four.. also the same thing could be said for the window amp.. bbut that requires totall access to the window amp as in you have to dissemble the plastic. an clean the point off inside of it.. which is also easy. no money will be sent just time.

Spent $50 on a new main window switch, works perfectly now, took about 20 minutes to try to wiggle the wire harness from the old window switch.

Man, I wish these things didn't cost so much. I've been needing to get a new one myself...
