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!!!!!!!

Hey yall

Heh heh... My dad used a voltage meter to check where power was in the switch (the bad one), and I think he couldnt find any power in it. Then to get the window back up, he took a jump wire and crossed the circuts to the window to get it back up. So it wasnt the machine that made the window go up, he just crossd some wires to get a little power in the switch to make the window go up....

Hmm..... Yeah this sucks.... I really want my window working again!

Does still sound like a switch problem to yall.... Cuz it does to me.

Oh and about my door... Yeah I dont have an alarm sytem that unlocks the doors automatically yet, so I havta use a key. My dad says it should unlock both sides automatically when I turn the key, but it doesn't... dont think it maters how many times you turn the key, the pasenger side just wont open. Thats why my dad thinks there might be a slight probelm with the system that controls all them power options....

Cuz when I start my car, and all the doors are open, they'll lock. So we're thinking that the passenger door should open too when the car is being unlocked.... But I dont know. This is a confusing topic isnt it?

Does anybody else's Celica do that too? (Poeple without an alarm sysytem) When you go out to unlock you celica by key, does the passenger side not open for you also?
