Passenger Side Window Switch

[Chrisgp]

I have a 96 Mustang GT. On the passenger's side door, the up button for the window stopped working. Down still works, and everything still works on the driver's side switches (for driver's and passenger's side windows.)

Any suggestions on what to check/try? I attempted to bypass the the switch on the passenger's side door by making the connection manually with a wire, but once again that only worked to get the window to come down.

Thanks

It probably is a faulty window switch that just needs replacing.
If not your window motor on the passenger side could possibly
be bad.

I have a 99GT, my Pass side goes up and down fine from my controls,
but the Pass can only go up with that switch, I have to put it down

I posted in a thread like this because I am having the same issue ... I remember someone saying to check the wires where they go through the door because the constant opening and closing of the door will sometimes tear or damage the wires.

On my car (98 GT) the passenger window will roll up and down from the switch on the drivers side, but will not roll down from the passenger switch. It will roll up though ... weird.

Let us know if the switch fixes it.

Wow seems like a common problem, as soon as the switch gets here I'll install it and report my findings too....

Took about 1 minute to install the new Switch
WORKS PERFECT

Switch Panel pops off (no tools needed)
Remove Switch assy (by removing 2 philip screws)
Pull Old Switch out (no tools needed)
Pop New Switch in (no tools needed)
Re-Install the Switch Assy (2 screws)
Pop the Panel back on

Thanks for the update! I'm going to go ahead and order one as well then, hopefully my problem is the same as yours.

No Prob, hope yours works out as well

Unfortunately the shipping is almost as expensive as the switch itself
BUT together it was WELL WORTH THE $20.00

My switch problems

Hey guys-

I've been having the same problem with my car. The window goes down, but not up. I'm getting juice (checked w/ tester) from all wires going to the switch when the switch is in the *down* postion on the passenger side, but when I put it in the *up* position I get nothing. I ordered a new switch and installed it and still have the same problem. I hooked up the battery directly to the motor to test, and it goes up and down. Since I'm getting power from all of the wires to the switch, should I assume that its possibly that plastic harness thing that the switch sits into?

I was going to trace the wire all the way through the car, but since I'm getting power too all of them, should I? I'd like to try the easier things first, if possible.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Sounds like it is the plastic harness that the switch goes into. take a look at it a little closer and see if one of the wires wiggle more then the others. Could be that its on the verge being pulled out. I guess you could force it in again and put it back into place.

I dunno, just came up with that...
