Passenger window does not work from the driver side switch
My passenger window does not go up from the drivers side switch. Does anyone have a quick fix for this ? is this a problem with the switch or something else ? does anyone have the switch for sale ?

Can't guarantee this will work for you, but after 3 years with the passenger side window not working from the driver's door swtich, but working from the passenger door's switch, I installed a grounding kit and the problem was solved. Passenger window now works from either switch.
Just to emphasize - it's not that the window was slow from the driver's switch - it wasn't working at all.
I contacted the grounding kit supplier to ask if this had been reported by anyone else, and he said no.
If you are planning at some point installing a grounding kit, then I suggest doing that first. It may save you another repair...

thanks for the info, but Im still trying to troubleshoot this thing. I noticed that the pass window motor clicks when I press the switch. Sometimes the window even moves like 2 mm for every click and if I keep clicking like a 100 times, I can move it quite a bit.

Then I suggest getting a copy of the factory service manual. I know that there is a diagnostic procedure for exactly this in there. Search the net - there are copies to be d/l'd...
