Default passagner window problem NEED HELP ASAP

on tuesday my passanger window was wokign fine and then it wouldnt go down, i tought it was a bad motor, since the motor was still under warranty i got a new a same problem i tough maybe it was defective got and got another one and same thing thign window will only go up and not down. it wont event make noise when i click the button to go down. then it tought maybe its the switch that doesnt work replace with a spare and nothing. i cheked the connection cables everything looks in good shape. if hit the swithc to go up you can hear the motor click tryign to move the window up but its already all the way up. you try to go down and nothing. the weird thing is the the driver side window works fine it goes up and down, if i try to move the passanger window up from the driver side it wont work it only goes up with the passanger side switch. idk what else to chek if pretty much exhausted everythign i know. what do you guys think might be causing this problem. i cheked for power and there is but the dam window wont go down.

really, itw weird because the driver side window goes up and down, and the passanger only goes up but not down hopefully someone will lead me to the module or how to exactly fix this problem. the motor is new i even returned it cause i tought it was defective got another same thing and the regulator is in good shape also.

There is no module for the passenger side window.

The passenger door window switch is wired THROUGH the switch on the passenger switch on the driver's side. So, if the switch on the driver's side is bad, replacing the switch in the passenger door won't do anything for you.

Which switch did you replace?

the one on the passanger door lol, so might best bet is that the master switch on the driver side is gone. but the driver side window goes up and down perfect. and when i try to put the window up on the driver side the motor doesnt even move, when hit the switch to put it up on the passanger side it goes up but not down lol. so even if it still goes up with the passanger switch the master switch may still damaged and need replacement???

I don't have my schematics with me right now, but it 100% sounds like the driver's side switch assembly. (Otherwise, I could tell you the exact contacts that are out.) The driver's side switch module is like two switches in the same case. The driver's side and passenger side functions are completely isolated. Its just the passenger side window that goes through the driver's door switch first. If one of the pass-through contacts in that driver's side switch is broken, it can give you the behavior you are describing.

Before you change the switch out, you may want to just check the connector on the driver's side. If that plug is loose, it could look like a bad switch.

yes, the driver's side and passenger side have nothing to do with each other. (I think my earlier comment may have been confusing.)

The only thing the two sides share electrically is the fuse, but they do have switches in the same "case" on the driver's side. It may be easier to understand if you picture the driver's side window as being completely separate, running off of one switch. Then the passenger side as separate, but running off of two switches. (Like some of the lights in your house where you have one switch on one side of the room and another switch for the same light on the other side of the room. Both switches need to be hooked up and functional for the light to work.)

A new driver's side switch assembly should get you back in business.
