Passenger Window rolls down but won't roll up.

[path2JacksonHole]

First of all I would like to hello as I am new to the forum. I just purchased a 1998 Pathy from a guy for $3000. It has 159000 miles on it and is in amazing shape except for the front passenger window. It will roll down but won't roll up. I took the door panel off and did some testing. I have 12V coming from the end of the harness on both the up and down through the switch but when I plug the harness back into the window motors pigtail nothing. I can also take a 12V battery and touch the end connector of the window motor pigtail and it will roll up so WTF? I'm thinking relay but why would I have 12V at the end of the harness on both the down and up out of the switch but once I plug it in nothing??? Would a relay do this? It won't work off the master switch on the drivers side either. Any ideas???

Does the window operate normally if you use the driver's side controls, or is the same issue present?

It will not work using the drivers side switch either. It does the same thing as the passengers side. Rolls down but won't roll up.

I tried to follow your diagnostic process but I am unclear what you were saying.

Since the window motor is connected by just two wires and it actually works then you just need to look at the mess of switches and grounds.

The way the system feeds from one switch into the other would require you to operate the main switch while probing the passenger connector to insure the circuit activates correctly to the switch,

You can't just go off the sub-switch at the passenger side as it has to feed back into the main switch to complete the ground circuits.

If you pull off the passenger switch and test for continuty between pins 2 and 5 on the switch, they should make contact when the switch is moved to "UP" as well as pins 3 and 1 should remain connected while you move the switch from "neutral to up".

Page EL - 187 shows the diagram as well as well as pinouts.

And if that switch tests right, then it mostly likely is the master switch causing the issue provided the other rear windows are working normally

Slumpert you hit the nail right on the head buddy! Looks like my master switch is the issue. I tested it this morning and I have continuity between pins 2 and 5 and 1 and 3 when I engage the sub switch to roll up. I will try a new master switch. Thanks for your help!
