I just purchase a 1992 mu myself but the master switch on the drivers side opens the drivers side window but not the
Passengers side because passengers switch on master is broken
Even the passenger side switch won't open the passenger window
Don't know why
Any thoughts on why the switch on passenger side won't work even though the switch seems to be fine

Could be the motor either switch or wiring. Clean the contacts in the switch and test everything with a multimeter

Cheers mate
I've replaced all switches with after market ones and
The master switch rolls both down
But the passenger side still won't roll down with its own switch
Perhaps a relay I'm unaware of
Thanks heaps

only relay in the sytem is to prevent them working unless the ignition is on. I had an intermittent fault in my old bighorn with the circuit to that relay. The number of times I drove home in freezing rain with the windows open and in hot sun with them closed only to find when testing it afterwards that they work perfectly is beyond belief. Once I tracked it to the relay I biffed the relay and bridged the contacts so the windows always worked.
Your case though will be a switch or wiring fault

Ok thanks for that
I might take it to an auto electrician just for the reason that I have both windows working but just that one side that won't go up or down with a brand-new switch rather than stuff around with it by myself
thanks again for your help
awesome cheers
