Default Power Window

Hello!

Issue just started a few days ago on my ‘08 Corvette.

The driver side window control let’s me put the driver window up and down correctly. However, it only lets me put the Passenger side window DOWN, but not UP.

Passenger side control works correctly, both DOWN and UP.

What up Vette Nation?

Do a search, there are many posts on this. Very often these cars will have frayed wires or loose connections, as a best case scenario, but you won't know until you take the door panel off.

I had the same issue when I bought mine and as TXSTICK said, the switch assembly needs replacing. Apparently, over the years, water can drip down onto and into this assembly and it eventually goes bad. I don't remember the switch assembly costing overly too much, $100 maybe, but I'm in Canada, so you US guys (and gals) can probably get it for $10 lol.
