Start working out so you can use them biceps to the fullest!!!

Just kidding!!!!

seems like the maincontrol switch embedded to the door where you select whats what..

I took a friend of mine (he had a 2003) switch out, cleaned it (it was full of drive-in burger grease and snot and whatever else people do with their fingers...hahahahahhha).

and sanded all the contacts where the plug connects and everything worked fine after that.....but........

you might actually have a bad switch.......

clean first,, take your time, if she no workee, then get a new one?

my 2 cents

good luck!

its your power window lock switch it happened to me as well here is a link on how to fix it also behind the kick panel driversside there is a plug with 3 wires a black a tan and a yellow if you hook a wire from the tan to the yellow the rest of the windows will work but you will have no lock out to them thats what i did and they work fine now https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f51/ho...-switch-86322/

This little harness is down by your feet. Take the panel that covers it off, get half a paper clip in there and tape it in place. Easy as ya please.

god, got to love good ole analog switching systems throughout the entire car.

I spend most of my day at work putting remote starts, radios, anything electronics related in cars and I have to say it sickens me to see how complex everything has become with MUX circuits and CAN and LAN bus systems.... forget that crap, I've seen my fair share of problems with them than can only be fixed with a $1200 computer replacement

My passenger window will only roll down from passenger side not up. I ran jumper to battery to get it to roll up. Other windows work just fine

I had the same problem and jumped the tan and yellow wires as mentioned prevoiusly. I used wire and those blue Wire Tap-In Squeeze Connectors like these:
