Damn passenger window has been acting up, today it decided it will roll down, but not back up, it is about halfway down, the switch and motor obviously work cause it will go down...what the he'll could it be? It seems like when I get the money for a lift something goes wrong

Well they are now starting to work half *** again, Im guessing I have a poor connection in there, I went roll them up with the engine on and when I moved the switch to teh down position I could watch my battery gauge go down rapidly...I closed the door with some extra force and now its working fine..what would be the suspect?

Probably the motor. I opened my doors up and greased everything I could. It helped. My volts drop a lot too though

I'm having similar... intermittant behavior via passenger side door switch.

I already took apart the driver's side door and checked for broken wires(in the rubber grommet leading to door frame) as well as cleaned out the master module.

Next task is to take apart the passenger side door and check the wiring and switch module there. If the module is anything like the mater one, there are double contacts on the switch: one for up and one for down. Try to give them a good cleaning.

check your switches and the window motors. Sounds more like a motor issue though since slamming the door gave a temp fix.

If it's your passenger side, it's also the rear doors too. It's a common problem with Cherokees caused by the "door lock" button. I just fixed mine based on direction I found on this site. Do a thread search under "power windows" and you should be able to find the thread. Good luck!
