The power windows on both my front doors hesitate to come up when using the switches on the driver's side door. They will eventually come up if I either hold the switch or push it several times. When I use the switch on the pass. side door it comes up like its supposed to. What could the problem be? And how do I fix it?

It is a pretty easy fix and I believe there is a write up in the how-to section about this. The contact between the switch and button get dirty or what have you over time/use and that contact point needs to be cleaned or fix with some solder (spelling?) I think thats the general idea but like I said it has been discussed a decent amount and there should be a write up on how to fix this problem. No worries, it's not a costly or impossible fix!!

Yep...I found it on the first page of the "electrical, lights, audio" section of the How-to menu. It is called-- How to clean your window switch contacts.

Yup. Pop of the main power window switch. And grab a ladies finger nail file, not the metal ones, that sand paper one... and go to town. Works like a charm. Mine still was a little sticky for the 1st 2 days, after that they go up and down on demand!

Also, the part for a new controller is only like $58 bucks. So if the cleaning isn't working, its just two plugs and clipping it back in place. 10 min $58 dollar fix.

as the op I want to say thank you as well. Haven't been able to check the internet alot lately, harvest time here in KS. As soon as we get that wrapped up I'll be checkin on those switches. Thanks again!

Get some DeOxit. It's a electrical contact cleaner and it's worth it's weight in gold. I used to refurb vintage stereos and this cured so many switch issues it's not funny. Spray the contact points and work the switch 10-20 times and presto, good to go. 90% of all bad switches are corroded contact points.
