Power windows goes down, but not up?

I'm guessing my switch panel is shot, because locks and other window works. Anyone else think different?

Could be.. but my old 88 had a random problem of the window going down but not back up, and it turned out to be a weak/worn spot in one of the gears.. it would get stuck down and the motor couldn't push it up back past the worn spot. I'd test out that switch before I went replacing other stuff though..

Just swap the switches around to test them. The locks and the window switches are basically the same, just the plastic locator tab is different. I cut that tab off and used a lock switch as a window switch before.

Okay, thing is you can get it to go back up, by playing with the switch and pushing it up/down several times, and it will go up. No clicking sound.

Try rolling it down to about 1-2" before it goes completely down (stop it before it goes down completely). Then try to roll it up.

Mine does this alot. It's got a flat spot in the gears. If I roll it all the way down I have to tap on the door pannel a little to get it to go back up. But if I leave it up just a tad (just so you can see about 1-2" of glass)... I dont have a problem rolling it back up.
