Default Weird power window problem 2001 Z

My 2001 Z started doing something weird on the power windows. I can only roll down the passenger side window with the passenger side switch, driver side switch won't work. BUT I can only roll it up with the DRIVER's side door switch, passenger side switch won't roll it up. Any ideas?

bad master switch (driver's door switch)? not sure how its all wired on f-bodys but most cars have all power window wiring run through master switch before going to other doors. if you unplug master switch, none work. not sure why one switch works one way and other switch works other way, but i would start there...

just bypass the switch to see if its the switch. Get a connector printout and ground the two points together see if the windows move like they should.

Replace the drivers door side first and see if that fixs the passengers side too. If not your gonna have to buy both.

A few years ago I had to buy the driver side window, door lock switch. It cost me $13 so it's inexpensive.
