Default Window "Auto Down" not working

From driver side, neither the driver or passenger "Auto Down" works. But press and hold down and it works fine.

They did work when I bought the car in July.

After rolling window up try leaving your finger on the switch for a few seconds.

You're older now, maybe your tapping speed has slowed down. It takes a pretty quick tap and release to activate the auto down.

There's truth to this...

When I got mine I thought I had a problem as well; I was holding the button down for too long. I found out that it really only takes a quick tap. Any longer than that and it doesn't work.

Apparently its the tapping speed. A quick tap and it works like it should.

Thanks all!
