98 xj window problems
What I have is a 98 cherokee 4.0np241 aw4 and with power locks and windows. Ok guys I searched and tried the jumper wire thing with no luck.... so to the problems and what I know and dont.
OK here is the deal the drivers side will work the drivers side....
the drivers rear does nothing
the passenger front switch will roll the window down but not up
the passenger rear switch will the roll the window down but not up....
The little green light is on in the switches
Please help me here as I have two windows halfway down and rain....
Do you guys think the drivers control panel is that screwed up? Or is there another problem?

Had similar problem on my 96, windows would go down very slow and then the passenger window went down and would not go back up again. I thought it was a ground issue since everything would work if I closed the drivers side door 2 or three times. A jeep mechanic friend put the passenger side window up but did not have an open time to look at the XJ. The problem was with the wire harness on the drivers side. Wires broke where the harness bends and enters the bottom of the door. So opening and closing the door would bent the wires and break the slight connection that was still working. This is a common problem, so I would start checking the wires leading to the drivers door switch. I think my mechanic disconnected the passenger side window motor and jumped the wires to put the window back up.

My hunch is that the main switch module on the driver door is bad. If you know how to trace electrical connections using wiring diagram and an ohm meter, you can try that, or go find another switch from a scrap yard and just swap it out.
The driver power/lock window switch module has quality issues. When I took mine apart, I could see a couple cracked solder terminals.

If you accidently short the +12 from the C307-1, it should open fuse 28, 25amp, located inside the passenger side kick panel.
