940 electric window closing

93 940gle estate. Hi I am having a problem with the passenger side front window on this car. The window will wind down on the switch but refuses to go back up. It can't be the relay or fuse or non of the windows operate. Any suggestions?

Switch. Either in the passenger door or drivers switchpack. With lack of use, the contacts inside the switch oxidise causing high resistance. Spray some switch cleaner/lube round the edges of the rocker and leave it a few minutes then operate the switch several times up/down then turn the ignition on and see if it has cured the problem.

2nd the above.

If not the switches are not hard to replace.

Got mine from skandix and did in it about 15 mins with a friend helping (job that is easier with two pairs of hands)
