When trying to put down the passenger front and rear windows they only go down so far then stop and it takes three days just to get them back up, I tried a new master switch and this did nothing to solve the problem. What can it be?

Hello, does the passenger side window switch work the windows properly? Feel of the power window circuit breaker, while trying to operate the windows, is it hot to the touch?

My passenger side switches for the windows do not work properly and the master switch does not operate the side windows, only the drivers side window is working ok! The other windows go maybe an inch then stop and will not go back up, only after several tries and starting and stoping of the car then they slowly creep up.

Check the actual voltage reading, master switch and passenger switch.

Okay I feel your pain. Replaced the motors on the driver and passengers side. Passenger side works great now. Drivers Windows went down ONCE and now will not go up. Was wondering if you fixed yours, and maybe shine some light on me about the solution.

Thanks, Ryan
