Default Passenger window switch problems

First i noticed that my passenger switch only rolls the window down and not up. it does roll up with the drivers side switch. First i bought a new switch, same thing just rolls down. then i pulled apart the door panel and made sure all the wires to the switch were connected and wired correctly. then i checked the connection to the window motor and it was fine. still it only rolls down for the passenger switch, what else is there to do?

Which switch did you replace? Which connector did you inspect the drivers or the passenger side switch, there has been posts about the switch cracking and causing a bad connection.

i replaced the passenger switch and it didnt change anything. the drivers side switch can operate both windows fine but the passenger switch will only roll the window down not up and its not the switch thats broke

test the wires that go to the switch if they have voltage going to them,maybe the wires that make it go down to have voltage but no the one that goes up.Good Luck.

Sounds like it may be time to visit an electrical repair shop. Or ask someone who's handy with a multimeter or testlight.

then i would get a wiring diagram and follow the wire to see were it leads and check if theres maybe a sliced wired or its lose.Its going to be a pain though.
