So my passenger front stopped working a few months back and I thought it was the regulator the whole time. Well, the other day I held the unlock button on the key fob and all windows rolled down, including the front passenger one. I was confused becauss I thought it didn't work. So then I thought, now its stuck.... well I went t roll the window up from the inside switch and it rolled up, but won't roll down. So do I just need a new passenger window switch? PN?

More than likely the rubber dongle inside the switch broke. Take a look at the window switch thread I did.

Its the switch for sure as the window would not roll up and down if the regulator was broken. Hopefully its a quick fix as Gary pointed out above. If not, you can buy the switch:

Yeah, it sounds exactly like what Gary described. Unfortunately, I don't have another window laying around

Post a WTB: Window Switch broken or not. Maybe someone has a broken one cheap. Take out the good part and fix yours. [emoji106]

I just have to confirm with them that that piece is still good

There are two of them inside each switch. Even thou your switch is bad one dongle should be good.
