What's FX4 ? How many door's ? Do the other door switches have battery power ? Can you test this with a volt meter ?

Principles of Operation
The left front window switch may be used to raise or lower all windows, or each individual side window may be controlled by the control switch located on each door panel.
The instrument control module (ICM) controls power to the power window system by activating or deactivating the delayed accessory relay.
The one-touch down feature will completely lower the driver side window when the master control is fully depressed, then released. The one-touch down feature is integrated into the LF window control switch.
There are 2 modes of LF window down operation: manual mode and auto mode. The manual mode is selected by pressing the LF window control switch to the 1st (DOWN) position. In manual mode, the window will move downward only while the switch is depressed. When the LF window control switch is pressed to the 2nd DOWN position, it enters auto mode and the window will open completely with a momentary press of the switch.
When the one-touch down feature has been activated, it will stay on until one of the following conditions is met:

  • The LF window control switch is pushed to the UP position.
  • The LF window control switch is released (OFF position) and then moved to the DOWN position (1st detent) or ONE-TOUCH DOWN (OTD) position (2nd detent).
  • 7 seconds have elapsed since OTD was initiated.
Window operation is enabled whenever the delayed accessory is active and the LF window control switch is pressed to the UP or DOWN position. The switch provides delayed accessory power to one side of the motor and ground to the other side. The one-touch down feature is not active when the LF window control switch is in the UP position.
Passenger windows may be raised or lowered using the LF window control switch or the appropriate passenger window control switch. Passenger window control switches receive power when the delayed accessory relay is active and the LF remote lock-out switch is in the UNLOCK position. When in the LOCK-OUT position, the passenger windows are deactivated.
The delayed accessory relay provides power for the operation of the power windows and the power roof opening panel. The delayed accessory relay is active whenever the ignition switch is in the RUN or the ACC position, or when the ignition switch is changed from RUN or ACC to the OFF/LOCK position and the LF and RF doors are closed.
The ICM will deactivate the delayed accessory feature when:
  • The LF door is ajar and the ignition switch is in the OFF/LOCK or KEY-OUT position.
  • The RF door is ajar and the ignition switch is in the OFF/LOCK or KEY-OUT position.
  • 10 minutes have elapsed since the ignition switch was changed from ACC or RUN to the OFF/LOCK position.

SOURCE: Elantra power windows work from door switches but fail from main

It was very srange, but all the contacts inside the switches of the main power window console (mounted in driver's door) were covered with soot.
I have disassembled the switch and cleaned the contacts. All functions well now.
The problem occured on a car that is used very rarely, that was most probably the reason of the sudden failure of the system.
Replacement of the main power windows switch would do the same but I have saved the expense this time. Hope the repair will last until I will sell the car.

SOURCE: Toyota Camry power windows not working from master switch

Their are two fuses that power this system. One is a 15 amp gauge fuse and the other one is a 30 amp main power fuse. You can also check the power main relay, your ignition switch, or i could possibly be a fault in the wiring

SOURCE: Subaru Outback 2005 - Driver side door/window

The switches in Subarus are made by Nissan believe it or not. They are not interchangeable. Anyway, I suspect you have a bad window switch. You can pickup the whole bank of swiches or replace just the one. Do a search on ebay for your part.
Has this car had body damage on the driver's door? You could have a cut wire inside the door.

2005 Buick Lesabre driver window inoperative

Power Windows Description and Operation
Power Windows System Components
The following components are used to control the power windows:
• Driver Door Module (DDM)
• Passenger Front Door Module (PDM)
• LH Rear Door Module (LRDM)
• RH Rear Door Module (RRDM)
• Driver Door Switch Assembly (DDSA)
• RH Front Power Window Switch
• LH Rear Power Window Switch
• RH Rear Power Window Switch
• LH Front Power Window Motor
• RH Front Power Window Motor
• LH Rear Power Window Motor
• RH Rear Power Window Motor
• Class 2 serial data circuit
• Power door serial data circuit
• PWR WDO 30 Amp Circuit Breaker
• DRVMDL Fuse (10 amp)
Driver Door Switch Assembly and Driver Door Module logic, Driver Door Module internal driver operation
• PASS MDL Fuse (10 amp)
Front Passenger Door Module logic and internal driver operation
• RRDR MDL Fuse (10 amp)
Left Rear Door Module and Right Rear Door Module logic and internal driver operation
Power Windows Operation
The vehicle is equipped with power windows controlled by the door modules. Each passenger door window can be operated, either from a switch built into the driver door switch assembly (DDSA), or from a switch mounted locally to its associated door. The driver door window can be operated only from the driver door window switch built into the DDSA.
When a window is operated from the DDSA, the DDSA interprets the window switch signal as a specific window switch request and sends the information to the driver door module (DDM) via the power door serial data circuit. The DDM examines the request and checks to see if it has received any class 2 serial data messages from any of the other vehicle modules (i.e. ignition switch position) prohibiting the movement of the window. If the window being operated is the driver door window, and if no prohibitive class 2 messages have been received, the DDM then applies voltage and ground to the driver door window motor to move the window glass as requested. If the window being operated is a passenger door window, and no prohibitive class 2 messages have been received, the DDM sends the request, via the power door serial data circuit, to the appropriate passenger door module. The passenger door module then applies voltage and ground to the passenger door window motor to move the window glass as requested.
When a passenger door window is operated from the power window switch mounted locally to its associated door, the passenger door module first checks to see if the DDM has received any prohibitive class 2 serial data messages. If there are no prohibitive messages, the passenger door module powers the associated passenger door window motor.
Both front door windows have the express down feature. This allows the front door windows to be fully opened by momentarily pulling the appropriate window switch lever to the second detente and then releasing.

Did you hook up a scan tool an check for DTC'S in the driver door module ?

DTC B3142, B3147, B3152, or B3157

The switch that failed and generated this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is wired to either the driver door switch assembly (DDSA) or the passenger door module (PDM). The DDSA or the PDM includes the switch state in the message it sends to the driver door module (DDM) via the power door serial data circuit. The DDM sends the switch message to the rear integration module (RIM), which is the master of all lock operations, as a class 2 message. The RIM checks all conditions and if all conditions are correct, sends its OK to the DDM. When the OK message is received, the DDM sends the required signal to all other door modules via the power door serial data message system.

I have a 2005 Expedition and my right front window is stuck half way up. could it be a fuse? Please help me out!

try holding switch in dup position and slamming door if this works your motor is sticking if not remove door panel and jump motor if it works check lock switch on drivers switch and all windows from drivers switch and individual doors if all other doors work with both switches and motor operates your passenger switch is more than likely bad if you hear the motor work with switches but window does not move the regulater is bad

Window problem

Might want to check the doors with the problem windows for a broken wire from the door to the door jam.

The window lock switch is a single circuit to all the other windows, so if there was a problem with it, none of the window controls would work ( but the driver's side would still operate them ).

The other place to check for a broken wire is the driver's side door to a-pillar harness. The circuits for the other windows run through the driver's side switch. Could be a wire in the driver's side door harness.

The other item could be the driver's side switch, the contacts will get carbon built up on them, and the windows will not operate anymore.
This is what mine looked like when the driver's side window stopped working ( lower left hand corner of the picture is the driver's side window switch, note the carbon build up on the contacts )
ccfb7fb.jpg

I would start with checking for broken wires, by metering the window switch for power.

The back passenger's window switch should be getting power & ground on the white w/ yellow stripe wire and the tan w/ light blue stripe wire.
in the "at rest" position on the driver's side switch, these are supplying ground to the power window, and power is being applied to the other side of the motor ( depending on direction of travel ).
