Window Switches problem

I have a problem with my passenger front window and the driver-side rear window. The switches can roll them down, but not up. From the driver's controls, I can roll them up and down with no problem so it can't be a problem with the motor. The dealer wants to charge me $70 per window to fix them. **** that. Does anyone know how i could fix these switches?

I had a problem with my main window switch with a similar problem. There is a thread on here somewhere that talks about cleaning the contacts on the switch but that only worked for me for about 8 months and then I had the same problem again and then I said heck with it and bought a new switch. Buy yourself new switches that are a breeze to install yourself and you will be good to go.

I'm not Maverick, but you can certainly get them from a dealer. There are also many online parts distributors, such as Tasca that probably have them.

passenger side window & both mirrors

Can someone please help? 1999 F-150, for the past two years the passenger side window will not go up or down from either switch and the mirrors would not move to the right. (inside for the driver side and out for the passenger). Both would be an intermintent issue but they have not worked for the past 8 months. Thanks in advance
