Window switch issues in the hot summer sun
 
Having an issue recently that just popped up out of no where. Both passenger and driver window switches fail to operate any of the windows. Replaced the fuse and all and still nothing. Would have thought it was a bad switch or two bad switches if it wouldn't have occurred on the same day. Coincidence? Or is there more to it?

Replaced the fuse. Was it blown? Did it blow again.

Take them apart and sand the copper contacts.

Tonight I'm replacing both window switches with confirmed working ones, it was dark so I swapped the fuse but tested neither. Going to check that again if this doesn't work.

New switches are both working but the pass side doesn't even move. Guess I'm going to have to pull the panel and test the motor

Both switches are working but the passenger side window doesn't move? Explain further?

What I meant was I have two switches installed that have been confirmed working by testing them in a different car.

Check Power and Ground in the Front Harness at the Driver's window switch connector. Both are supplied through the Driver's side switch to the Passenger door switch.

I too have experienced issue with the pass through. The power out from the master to passenger switch passes through the window lockout. In the past I have had to bypass the lockout switch to get a functioning passenger window! With a multimeter it's simple work.
