Weird window issue
I occasionally get this issue with my passenger side window.
I am unable to roll up the windows with the driver side or passenger side switches.
But when I used both switches at the same time... then it will roll up.
How weird is that?
What can be causing this?

Okay, this is the stupidest possible counter-question, so I'll ask it first just to get it out of the way:
On the driver's armrest, there's an on-off switch that controls the ability to roll the passenger window up and down. Have you made sure that this switch is in the ON position when you experience this issue? Could it be possible that the attempt to use both switches to roll up the passenger window causes you to also hit the on/off switch as well?
Once the stupid question is out of the way, I might theorize that a ground wire for the passenger-side motor is loose and if you run the driver's side motor, it's finding a ground through the driver's side motor and using that in order to operate. Without an electrical troubleshooting manual, that's just a wild-assed guess, however.

and Yes I am sure that that switch is on.
That's the 1st thing I checked when this issue started.
When I try to roll up the passenger window with the passenger switch it will not work.
When combining the switch together then it will work.
It's seems like it doesn't have enough power or something and need the other sides help.

There is a bulletin about replacing the window regulator, that is where the ground is. It calls for the drivers window only rolling down 3-4 inches with the automatic switch, I don't know if it has anything to do with you're situation.
