i have a problem with my window master switch, my front passenger side will not go up with the master, but will go down. On the passenger side window switch has no problem. It will go up and down

I have the opposite problem on my 05. The pass. window will got up and down fine from the master switch, but will only go down at the pass. door. I am planning on replacing the switch on the pass. door.

kc dave, check your switches connection inside the switch. I opened the switch and it had alot of gunk on it. I cleaned all connection and now it all works. thanks to walnut4x4, it saved me 70+ dollars.

1. Remove switch from door panel
2. Pop off bottons. dont need to remove window lock button
3. With something flat or pointed, pop tabs on both sides of switch.
4. Remove rocking switch with flat head screw driver.
5. Two metal parts under switch Clean terminals
Just take your time not to lose or crack any parts.
You will see black gunk under the metal parts.
Sorry dont know the names of the parts.
Took me about 10-15 mins.
Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem as KC Dave. Window would only go up with the passenger switch, but worked fine from the master switch. Suspected the switch. Swapped switch with one from rear door, but the problem remained. Then I noticed one of the metal connectors in the wiring harness had broken in two. I was able to remove it and resolder it back together and all is good now.

It does sound like your switch is bad, but just in case the cleaning doesn't fix it, check the wiring harness connector.
