Door locks messed up

OK so i have a 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 king cab.

 

The drivers door power windows control switches will:

1. Lower the 2 rear, but will intermittent roll them up with much fuss with buttons.

2. Will roll up passenger door up, but not down (I hear the clicking, but not action).

3. Rolls the driver door up and down like normal.

 

The passenger door window switch will:

1. lower window, but not raise it.

 

The rear doors each window switch will:

1. lower them, but not raise it.

 

Is there all defective switches? Or is it all based on that driver power windows switch.

 

Suggestions appreciated.

 

P>S> the windows roll up and down with normal speed, when they work LOL

sounds like a bad connection issue, possibly a ground issue. Only way to be sure is to remove the panels and clean up the connections, check for corrosion, and possibly low volts. Start with the drivers door, and with the panel off and having cleaned the connections see if it helps your issue, if not move to the passenger door, and clean that one, then once again check to see if the issue has been resolved.

If you have to replace either door switch assembly, it will have to be programmed to the vehicle if it is new.  If buying used, get one with the exact same options as your CREW CAB, lol.  There's a company on Ebay that sells the factory switches in white boxes, from same factory in Mexico that makes them for GM for about $7 each.

They do not require programming. I have personally changed 15 or so. Plug and play.

I took the driver door and passenger door switches apart, cleaned the terminals and it works like a charm. Thanks gang!

No problem. That's why we are here.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
