My driver's side window switch will put the passenger window down, but won't bring it up. I have to reach over and close the window from the passenger side. Is there a way to fix the switch?

maybe, you gotta take the swtich apart and clean the contacts. but if the pivot points on the switch are broken it prolly still wont work

I just cleaned the switch on the other vert today and got it working fine, but that car was sitting for 3 years. On a car that was used on a normal basis cleaning it probably wont work. I cleaned it with sandpaper, electrical cleaner, and some scotch brite.
