    I have a 2012 Tacoma double cab. The rear drivers side window will go down with the local switch but won't go back up. With the master switch on the drivers door it will go up and down. I thought it was just a problem with the switch, so to test it I took the switch from the rear passenger side door and put it on the rear drivers side door. It worked 3 times, then same problem, lowers the window but won't go back up. Put the switch back on the passenger side and now that one won't go up either. So now both back windows only go down with the local switches, but function perfect if I use the master switch on drivers door. Any ideas what is wrong?

    Might be the door switch contacts are dirty or corroded.

    The door switches when in neutral have a set of contacts that allow control via the Master Switch

    I have also run into vehicles with a voltage drop without the engine running the windows would not go up.

    the regulators and tracks do need lubed from time to time
