[s-cars] Windows

[Douglas Landaeta]

My bet is on the ignition switch. I've been Babying mine along and only when I had a passenger in the car did I notice that the passenger side window would not go up via the passenger switch only. The drivers switches operated the passenger window just fine. It may be easier to diagnose than door wiring.
