Passenger Side Automatic Windows
Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is normal or what, but i noticed only my drivers side windows are one touch automatic. For the passenger side windows (front and rear) I have to hold the buttons down until the window goes all the way down (or up)
I just wanna know if that's how they are supposed to be or if there's something wrong with them.
Thanks!

Possible fix
I have an XJ but this might help - My driver's switches for the passenger windows wouldn't work in one-touch mode.
I removed the switchpack and found 2 of the 6 small tabs that hold the bottom to the sides were broken, probably from pushing the passenger window switches and the bottom of the switchpack was protruding, just a little.
When I pushed the bottom back into it's proper place the switches worked. I'm epoxying the bottom to the side of the switchpack where the tabs are broken now. We'll see.

I finally got mine to work, kind of. As I mentioned in an earlier post the switches are affected by the bottom part of the switch pack. This bottom is attached to the rest of the pack with tabs.
I think that the little plastic tabs on the bottom break because the passenger windows switches get more "push" pressure just because they're closer. On mine those were the tabs that were broken while the driver's side was ok. When the tabs break they allow the bottom to move down slightly when a button is pressed. I found that this movement is enough to cancel the second, auto-down click.
I held the switch back bottom in place and the switches worked. It's a very small amount of movement. I tried gluing the bottom in place but the plastic didn't like the epoxy I used. Eventually I ended up putting little shims in the tabs to hold the bottom in place. Now they work but only if I push the switches in the center, not at the ends.
Sorry for the long answer but the key is to keep the pack bottom from moving downward when a switch is pushed.
