98 4Runner Window switch slowly going out?
I have a 98 4-Runner and the windows are slowly not responding to the switch, either the master, nor the local door switch. The driver's side front works fine, and the passenger's rear works fine as well. The problem is that the driver's rear stopped responding to the switch, and about a month later, the passenger's front stopped responding and now the window is stuck down, but if you press "down" on the switch, it goes down just fine. I should add that the "up" function worked well and was not sluggish before it stopped responding.
What could be the problem, and how can I get the window up at least manually for now?
Thanks for any responses.

I had a similar issue in a Ford Ranger. I pulled the switches apart and cleaned the contacts and it worked fine after that. You also may have a loose wiring harness or bad contacts there, since it's multiple windows that are affected.
If you hear the motor running in the door (like 904_runner said), it could be a bad motor or regulator.
Let us know what you find out!
