My rear passenger window will roll down but not up, no matter if I use the individual switch or the master. Could both switches be bad?
It's a 91' jeep cherokee btw.
Thanks for any advice.

Hah, I posted the exact same issue with my 88 Cherokee not more than 4 hours ago, except it's the front passenger window.

I looked through my haynes manual at the wiring diagram, but just because both don't work doesn't mean they're both bad. (I wish I understood the different symbols a bit better)
I'm just about to head to the garage with my voltmeter to try and see where there is no longer current flowing. I'm assuming there is a wire broken somewhere. But for now I figured I can raise the window by using a spare piece of wire between the connector (the one between the door switch and the motor) to use the "Down" power from the switch to power the "up" side of the motor. At least than I can drive it around and leave it outside without worrying about it getting ransacked, rained in etc.
If I find the source I'll let you know.
EDIT:
Well that didn't take long. Power is going to the motor, so it's not the switches or wiring. So I'm going to try taking the motor/unit out and open it up, see what's gone wrong (if something's burned out or come loose)

when i baught my jeep none of the windows or locks worked because the wires were crackesd and not connecting. i had to pull the boot linking the wires to the door off and splice them together. now i can roll my windows up and down and lock everthing
