Default 1999 C5 Passenger Window Issues

Hello everyone! I hope someone can help me here. My 1999 C5 is playing mind games with me. From the passenger side the window works perfectly fine up and and down but for some reason from the driver side I can only put the window down but it wont go back up from that side. Any idea what this could be??? Any help will def. be appreciated!

Thanks!

I would venture to say that there must be a problem with your drivers side window switch. I have read on this forum that when some have had problems with the windows they pound on the door panel and it will at times jiggle things around enough so that contact is reestablished and the window may work for a while or perhaps longer...if that doesn't work then you will have to remove the door panel and check the wires and connections and at worst case perhaps replace the switch

Most likely a connection issue. Take it apart, clean, put back together.
