Drivers side window (not the motor)
So recently my motor went bad, and today I replaced it. Turns out it's not my only problem, and the problems I attributed to the motor going out still happen. The window rolls up like a champ, just like a new motor should, but only occasionally wants to roll down. If I push the down switch all the way down it won't budge, but if I wiggle it back and forth it will sometimes decide to roll down.
So this leads me to thing it's a faulty connection, only effecting the pin that controls the down side of the passenger window, or some other electrical problem. Is there any way I can diagnose this? any help would be appreciated.

Double check the plastic bezel that holds the window switch. Sometimes they crack or break and allow the switch to move around without actually engaging the switch.
If it is cracked you'll need to remove the bezel and repair it. I used some plastic super glue from the hardware store to fix mine and it has held really well.

My friend had the same problem with his 98 t/a nd we replaced the motor and switch first. Still nothin so we was like wtf and I searched everywhere and found there is a window module that controls the automtic down feature. This module sits in a cubby hole in the firewall right behind the gas pedal. Try everything else first because the part was like 140 from the stealership.hope this helps good luck man
