I have a 1985 Regal.
My passenger window will not go up when I push the passenger side switch up, it only will work when I push it down. The window will move both ways using the driver side switch. I thought I needed a new switch, but the new one still didn't solve the problem. I put a test light onto the harness that plugs into the window lift motor. It lights up on the one contact if I push up and it lights up when I push down on the other contact, so I am getting voltage to the motor from the passenger side switch. It doesn't make sense. I even replaced the motor, which is what I thought was the original problem. If I am getting voltage to the motor, why wont it work in the down position/only up position, but will work both ways from the driver side?

Does any one have any ideas?

I would greatly appreciate the help!!

If you are getting power out of the switch in both directions, then you need to check the feed wires to the motor when you work the switch.

Most likely you hae a broken wire in the circuit.
