Default 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!

Does the button click once when you press it, then as you push it down give another click (Which would be the 'one-touch' close? Or does it just push down and no 'second' resistance (not easy to describe, but you know how the drivers side feels).?

it feels different from the drivers side windows, it's only one step in either direction, not two like the drivers side windows.

it just doesn't make sense to me why they would make the two left side windows work one way and the right side windows work differently.

Mine all work the same as the drivers side does. I did see a post on here that said they have to be programed by the drivers buttons. I think by holding the button all the way down and holding it there for 3 seconds after it's down. I have a bad memory but I think that's how you do it.

Window all the way down, keep holding the button, wait for a click, all the way up, wait for a click

ez, I am having the same issue with my car. I am going to try disconnecting the battery to force a reset on the car and then reprogram the windows. Otherwise, it is a problem with the control module for the windows.

Is it possible to 'swap' the switches to see if it's the switch itself that's the problem, rather than any control module?
Maybe short-circuit the pins to see if the auto-power down?

Default 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.

My front passenger window is not able to be controled by the master switch on the driver side. When I reach over to toggle the front passenger window, the rear passenger-side window goes down...??? '98 XJR

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.
