    I think I have a 'stuck' in the up mode passenger front window in my 92 Grand Prix. All power windows work fine except for that one and a similar thing happened one time on my drivers window where I just held down the 'down' button across some bumpy railroad tracks and down came the window and it worked great since. I tried that on the passenger window and it won't budge. Might be something wrong electrically with a switch but I don't think so and am leaning toward a stuck window. Any thoughts on this guys? If I have to take the door panel off, anyone seen any good online tutorials on doing it? TIA

    Try sitting in the pass seat and while you hold down on the switch to down give the door a couple of quick slams.

    Might unstick it if that's all it is, otherwise prob the motor.

    I've even had to remove a door panel once and tap a motor with a small hammer, and it is still working to this day.

    These switches are known to pit and gunk up over time...
