    A couple months ago I had issues lowering and raising my power windows. I removed the switch panel and messed with the buttons until it started working again. Now it's happened again and I can't get my drivers window up at all now. Passenger is working fine. Looking at replacing the switch panel on the driver's side. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Did you clean the contacts when you had the master switch assembly out?

    Seems like you just have dirty contacts (based on similar symptoms I had). The driver's side "up" contact will typically get the dirtiest because that is the contact that is used the most. Driver's side "down" is auto... at least on mine.

    Before (the driver's side contacts are those long blade types that are covered in residue)

    I had the same problem. Clean the contacts and see what happens.
