When a window switch is not being used, it has the ground circuit on both sides. Then when you move it to up or down, you apply power to one side of the motor. Thats how the motor is able to run in both directions.
So you should have power on one side or the other when you move the switch. Have you checked it for power and ground ?

SOURCE: electrical, wiring ?

you better test these two switches to be sure they are bad, as well as the motor. if you have an old battery that is sufficient to operate the motor alone for testing. test each switch with a continuity tester --- if they are both bad you probably have a wiring problem --- make sure there is nothing binding the window mechanism.

SOURCE: drivers side power window doesnt roll up or

If you go direct to motor with jumpers, it should work, then reverse wires on motor to change direction. Don't forget to check wire loom in drivers door jamb, by hinges for a break, or bent/cracked/damaged wire(s) as well. That's a known bad spot for wire problems due to door opening & closing all the time, and wears out wires in there.

SOURCE: Is there a relay that controls the driver side

There is no seperate relay that controls the up function for your vehicle.
I would suspect a power switch as the root cause of failure, as the window runs down as designed.
Good luck

Sounds like your window is off track. You will have to take door panel off to get to it. Fairly simple to do once you remove the panel.

Passenger power window put it down about 6 inches,would not go back up by either side switch. Took the door panel off and wiring is ok.

COULD BE A COUPLE OF THINGS, THE EASY THING TO DO IS TO GET A GOOD 12V BATTERY AND MAKE SOME LONG JUMPER WIRES,THEN UNPLUG THE WIRE HARNESS THAT GOES TO THE WINDOW REGULATOR OR MOTOR.NOW GET THE WIRES AND ATTACH TO BATTERY POSITIVE ,NEG,AND CAREFULLY TOUCH LEADS GOING INTO MOTOR ,YOU CAN REVERSE THEM FOR WINDOW DIRECTION.IF IT GOES UP AND DOWN WITH NO PROBLEM THEN YOU CAN ELIMINATE THE MOTOR,AND LOOK SOME WHERE ELSE....THE MOTOR MAYBE HEATING UP AND ONLY GOING DOWN A BIT THEN QUITS.OR THE SWITCH IS BROKEN .AND WONT GO UP.

I have a 97 monte carlo w/power windows. Originally the passenger window would go down from drivers side then wouldn't go at all. had the switch replaced and it worked for about a month. now it won't go...

It's probably the window regulator. They can be purchased at the dealership or sometimes you can find them cheaper if you go aftermarket. They can be pretty tricky to replace but most body shops can do it pretty cheap. They can also usually do it while you wait if they aren't that busy you've got 30-45 minutes.
