Excellent!

Appreciate the advice mike & gschotland. I will try the switch tomorrow morning & advise back. Mike, so far zero sound, but haven't tried it with the top down, so will check all configs suggested if the switch doesn't seem to be the issue. Made my day by commenting - appreciate it!

Fixed, I think!

Hi All --

A quick note to update to all interested on my issue with the passenger window (formerly dead). I repeatedly tried the window this morning, both with top down and up, with no apparent result (passenger window was initially still in down position).

I then moved the car outside into the spring sun (~ 50 deg) and repeatedly tried the passenger window with no effect. Then I removed the torx screws and removed the center console switch section. When retrying the passenger window, I could hear the switch enable, but still no window roll on passenger side.

I had a difficult time trying to remove the plug to swap the switches to see if the driver window would drive the passenger window. After about 10 minutes in the sun (I decided to clean the area below underneath the switch with interior detailer), suddenly the passenger window works!!

I then take her for a ride (after reinstalling the console) & continuously checked the window and all was back to normal.

So thanks to gschotland & mikefocke for encouraging me to further define the problem. I don't really have any idea if this is a short-term or long-term fix, but i'm pretty sure I saved a bunch of $$$ because I messed around with it myself.

Thanks all, great community to be a part of here!
