Also found in a search that some guys had the same problem and ending up "cleaning" the contacts....is this done by taking out that area on the drivers door that houses all the window up/ down buttons?


By cleaning the contacts you are correct in saying it is the driver's window control panel/armrest on the drivers door, look for the window switches, pull them out, check all wires and connections and clean them well. it could also be the switch that measures how far up/down the window is, maybe someone who knows the ins/outs of the windows can shed some more light, best answer, check all connections/switches if need be, remove the whole door panel to make sure nothing else is blocking the window, jamming it. best of luck
