Heres how it all started out.... (story time people! gather round! )

I was leavin from a job interview I totally flopped... LOL Anyways, it was in the midde of August and it was a pretty hot day out... So I reach up for th latches to unhook the top, and without really looking, thinking I was hitting the button that puts the top down, I hit the wrong button. The button that puts down the back window behind the driver's seat....

I was like "eh... oops... wrong button" so I push the right button and put the top all the way down. Then I push the back window button, click it up, but wait a minute... something was wrong.... the window wouldnt go up.

I was like "okay...." and kept pushing the button for it to go up. Even more confused, I pushed down on the button, and what do you know! The window went down! Starting to get a little frustrated, I push up on the button, but no luck... It wouldnt go up.

I could keep explaining what happened next but that'll take too long... Dont wana bore ya people LOL

But yeah... The probelm of the story is... My back window will go down but not up.

But here's another twist.... Once my dad got home to check out the problem, he took this little tiny machine thing and probed the button (to the back window), gave the button a little tiny shock and WOO! The window went back up again.

Then he put the window back down, but this time without the machine thing, he tried to put the window back up but like before.... It wouldnt go back up unless he had the machine thing do it....



WHATS GOING ON HERE!?

Is it the switch? Should I get a new one? Is there something wrong with my window? I dunno! HELP!!!!!!!

what do you mean by unlock your door? You mean from the outside with your key? if so mine, never did... or did it? I dont think it did, or it might have if you turn the key twice. I dont remember because i had an alarm system installed about a year ago that gave me remote door locks

As for the switch to put down the quarter windows, it sounds like a switch problem to me as well. Because you said that once he put the 'machine thingy' to the switch it worked fine. I dont see how the 'machine thingy' could temperarily fix the 'brain.'

btw, what exactly is the 'machine thingy?' Is it a multimeter? voltage generator? stud finder? perhaps if you can tell us what it was, we can get a better understanding of whats going on.
