Default Window question

Ok, I have done a search, and didnt find exactly the issue I am having, so i will ask.

My passengers window, on my 88, goes down fine, however, sometimes it will come up fine, other times I have to repeatedly press the switch. Sometimes as many as 15-20 times before it comes back up. So, until I know what the issue is(switch, ribbon, regulator) I am just going to leave it up, which sucks.

So I ask you all, which issue does this sound like?

Thanks!

Lou

It would help to know what year we are talking about, but I'd say bad window switch, weak motor, in that order of likelyhood. Remember a bad switch on one side will sometimes effect the other window. The ribbon usually just breaks.

After 15-20 times does it go up at normal speed???? If so it's most likely the switch........

It's the switch, same problem with mine. I swapped it with the power lock switch on the passenger door since it's the same switch and rarely used.
