HELP!! Window won't go up!
SH*T I have power windows and my window will go down but not up!!! Could this be a problem with my switch? if so is there any way to fix it? I can connect wire to battery and the windows go up.

I had a problem like this before. Keep in mind when connecting it directly to the battery it is getting a little more power than when it's connected through the car (so it has more umph), not 100% sure this is the case but it does pass through multiple things before it reaches the door.
Take off the door panel, and remove the switch. Flip the switch encasement upsidedown and take the backplate off very carefully (a couple small parts). At the copper contacts clean them up a bit (mine where black), make sure the pieces all go back on right (its hard to mess up the only fit one way... large part in large hole lol)
If the window only goes up a little and seems to get stuck (and slowly moves sometimes) then you track is dirty. With the door panel removed you can unbolt the glass and carefully place it down to bottom of the well. With this done I think there is 4-6 bolts to unbold and the track comes off. It's a little hard to get out but with a little wiggling you can get it out the bottom hole. My personal way of cleaning it was WD-40 and a compressor. I plugged the switch back in and sprayed the track with WD-40. The move the track up and down a bit (without the window it moves FAST watch your fingers... I didn't
ow ) Spray it a bit with the compressor then lithium greased the whole track. Replace careful not to drop the glass after but once you have it on the track (little white clip) it holds itself pretty well when bolting back on.
