Only the front passenger window rolls up and down automatically

I've started having a weird problem just in the past week. Only the front passenger window will roll up and down automatically. All the other windows in the truck will roll down automatically with the rocker switch but when I attempt to roll them up they will not roll up automatically and even when I hold the rocker switch they will roll all the way up and then automatically come back down a couple of inches as if something is pinched.

Also, the rear hatch release switch on the driver door doesn't work.

Has anyone else had this issue before?

Try closing the windows with the switch and holding the switch in the closed position for about 10 seconds. Otherwise, see if this helps (from the CL forum):

Driver side window rolls up, and then down 2"

Yes, first and most simple thing is that the windows lost their programming. Do as mentioned above - hold close for 2 seconds, or so (you may even hear a small click). BUT, if that works, the question is WHY did they lose their programming? Did you do something with the battery? Do yo have a sunroof? If so, check that, too.

We had body work done in July from a tree limb damaging a door and rear quarter panel. Seems unlikely but my guess is that we didn't open any windows afterwards because of the summer heat.

Makes as much sense as anything else. Either way, gotta love those free fixes!
