Default New WINDOW problem!

i noticed this problem after i installed new OEM seats. I dont think that affected it but who knows.

Both window motors are fairly new. Driver side window motor and module changed in March, Passenger's last year.

Problem 1: on the drivers side, when i open the door the window drops as its supposed to. But when i close the door the window does not go back up. I have to use the switch to bring it back up all the way. WTF???

Problem 2: on the passenger side window, sometimes it won't go down or it wont go up. This only happens when i use the switch. When I use the key fob to open them, it works. when i use the key and lock method, it closes. But when i use the window swtich, sometimes it doesnt work. WTF???

when both windows are down and you are outside of the car, you put the key in the keyhole, and turn and hold it to the right. your doors lock, and the windows go up after 2 seconds

You can only open the windows with the fob by holding the unlock button.

just for the record, incase anyone can ever relate to this issue, i found the problem.

The wire harness on the drivers side door jamb was loose (the rubber where the wires run from the car through to the door). this caused the connections of the "plug and socket" to be lose and unsecure. I had to by another grey securing lever which was like $3 from the dealer.

im having the exact same problem right now, if i use the key fob or the lock cylinder the passenger window works fine, but if i try to use the window switch on either side the passenger window will not work.
