It seems we've been having alot of problems w/ 3rd gen master window
switches. Now it's my turn:
The passenger windows will not go up when using the driver's (master)
switch. They will go down but not up. They work fine if using the
individual switch on that door. This just came about this week. We've been
having alot of rain and very damp weather here in Dallas for the last week
or so. Is this a moisture-related problem?

Thanks.

It is the master control switch. I am on my third one. Seems when it
rains and the window is just cracked open water gets into the master
control and the contact points go bad. Can't take the switch apart to
correct the problem so it is just a matter of getting a new one and
changing it out. Courtesy Nissan in local for you. I buy from them
on-line since I am in Las Vegas. but, they seem to have the best deals.

I had a similar problem, but in the opposite direction. I could always get
the driver's window to go up, but it didn't always want to go down.

It did seem to be affected more when the weather was wet. I bought a
replacement from a junkyard for $25 or so, and it works just fine now. I
didn't feel like paying the $125 the dealer wanted.

Thanks, Bill. I haven't opened up the switch and jiggled the wiring yet, so
I'm not gonna run out and buy a new switch just yet. The one's advertised
in Ebay don't sound very reliable as they can't guarantee they work or the
switches look pretty worn in the pictures. Our weather is now drier, but the
switches still don't work.
I'll just keep trying to locate the problem, then I'll buy a used one from
somewhere, salvage yard or Ebay.
