power windows 700 1990

Recently I've been having trouble with my power windows not working. The drivers side works fine.The passanger front window will roll down with its assigned button but will only roll up with the master control switch. The rear passanger dosn't work at all but has power to the button and the switch has been changed.The rear drivers side will roll down with the master control switch but roll up with its assigned button. All fuses have been changed out and all has power to the switches. Id very much like to fix this problem myself before I have to call in the big guns( certified mechanic)

Thanks Doug

    Sound similar to a problem I once had,replaced switches, no change. Eventually found the channel for the glass was dislodged and binding. Check the guide channels and apply some silicone lube. Could be a ground issue too.

    If I were you, I'd hit the junkyard and get all new switches for your car. My car had a faulty driver swtich for the passanger window and it wouldn't work. One of the switches was faulty and only rolled the back window up every three tries. I replaced them with a whole new set and everything worked. Then, if any windows still aren't working, then you need to check power to the motor and then if necessary, get a new or used window motor.

    Good luck,
    Eamon

    In most cases, the switch contacts are probably worn. In some cases, the motor commutators could be oxidized: the best way to keep the motors working is to use them occasionally.

      The switches are easy to pop apart for contact cleaning and they will work for a few more years
