I just bought a 2001 kia sportage. The passenger and rear windows won't go up or down with their individual controls but will with the drivers controls. I tried the child safety window switch but they don;t work with it in either position. Can it be a bad switch on the child safety lock?
Try the settings on t he drivers door, you can turn off the passenger window controls there, maybe they are off.

I have a 99 Kia Sportage that had the exact same problem. You can fix the switches without having to spend ANY money to replace them! You first have to remove the door panel. Disconnect the wires going to the switch and then remove the switch from the panel. Remove all the screws from the botoom of the switch, including the ones holding the metal clips. Then carefully pry each side upwards from the locking tabs and pull the switch apart. BE CAREFUL not to lose the little metal rockers inside the switch! Now all you have to do is clean all the contacts and rockers with a brass wire brush, or fine sanpaper, (or even a good ink eraser will work). Then put the switch back together, reinstall it, and test it out! You'll be back in business and didn't spend a dime! I did this with my 98 Ford Windstar, too.

Had same problem if not fuse it must be the switch. or whire came loose on switch. if that do not work try to test the motor.
SOURCE: my passenger rear window will go down but not up
Thru much testing we have found this problem to be relative to the lock out at the master switch. Have not figured it exactly but when the master switch for the rear passenger window is held in the up position the rear works just fine up and down. The only wire diff on that side is the lock out. Still testing, may be that wire shorted to the body or the master switch may just be bad or wired incorrectly.
