Passenger window
I've got a 2015 SCrew that has a weird window problem. The rear passenger window will not work from that switch, but it works from the master switch at the driver door. I took it in b4 my warranty ran out and they tested it and said the driver door master switch needed to be replaced. I found that odd since that's the one that would roll the window down and the other wouldn't, but hey I'm no mechanic. They replaced it, and sure enough it worked. . . For 13 months. I took it back and told them the same thing happened and they said that it only had a 12 month warranty. How convenient! Then they said they would have to charge me a diagnostic fee to find out if that's what is wrong this time. I'm wondering what the likelihood of it being the same thing is, or if there's something else that could be causing it. Maybe the actual passenger switch this time? Anybody have any issues like this? Any insight would be appreciated

I would just swap the left and right switches and see if it followed. If it does you have a bad switch if not then it is something else.

You know those times when somebody tells you something and you think to yourself "Why the heck didn't I think of that?" Having one of those right now.

EDIT: Forget that front switch, if its working there it has to be the back switch, I would check the plug as long as you are swapping the switches

The power for the back windows go through the drivers master switch, that's why it could cause it to fail.
I would pull that drivers switch out of the door, if I remember right you pry it up towards the front of the truck. No screws, don't have to rip the door apart. But I would look at the connector to make sure a wire is not partially out of the plug. Also if you search for that master switch using google, you can pick them up pretty cheap, or even a nearby junk yard. Hard to believe you have two switches go bad so quick.

When I get home I'm gonna start with the initial suggestion and move that switch to the other side and see if it follows. That'll at least narrow the problem down some.
I hate chasing electrical problems! I had enough of that crap with my jeep wranglers
