From one minute to the next, I lost control of the passenger front window, and both rear windows at the driver's master switch and at each door's window switch. Driver's side front window still works just fine. This occurred in my 95 turbo Maxima.

First thought is a fuse, but when my driver's front window works fine, then I'm thinking it can't be a fuse.


Thoughts?

I had this happen.
Replaced the master switch/drivers door switch and everything worked again

There is a switch on the arm rest which shuts the other windows off. This is to prevent kids from hurting themselves.
Flip th swith again, and all windows will work again

K. I'll do this and report back.

I know what you mean. But what you're saying doesn't limit the up and down control from the driver's master switch, only the other switches. Maybe mine is screwed up. I'll try this first for the heck of it. Thanks.

The switch I'm talking about is the one furthest forward. The left one. The symbol looks like a window with an x on it.

Yes, it does not limit up and down on the drivers window, but does on the other windows.

Mine doesn't allow me to roll up my other windows unless I turn off the child lock. I can't recall if it let me in my other max or not.

So was that button pressed or did the switch fail? It's one or the other.

JvG

Chances are that you pressed that button.

The button then did what it is supposed to do.

The cure is to push that button again.

Been there...... done that. I went through the same wtf moment too.

it's usually on a sunny day when you want the windows all down too. you start getting all pissed and say, " wtf, you pos, work!!"

If that's the issue then I'll just have to assume we were trolled.

JvG

No, Murphys law says that if something can happen, it will always happen at the worst possible time.

Like if you open the windows on a day with a chance of showers.

One might press the lockout button accidently , then a cloud burst will happen shortly afterwards.

This goes double for sunroof problems.

LOL. This is exactly what happened. I moved the car and rolled down the passenger side window half way so I could talk to my gf. I go to roll the window up and nothing! Worst part is, it was scheduled to rain in the morning and it was 1am and I was dead tired. I had to go find a trash bag, cut it, and tape the window to prevent rain from getting in the car. Needless to say, I was pissed!

I'll see what the culprit is this Friday. Stay tuned.

sounds like 4th gen maxima's windows are failing recently.. my drivers window went out this monday, rolled it down...got home and didn't roll back up had to tape a trash bag :| . lol.

ever get it fixed wizard?

JvG

The original poster pushed the window lock out switch.

Josh, you had the window lift mechanism break. They are available on amazon .com. you do not need the motor, just the lifting portion.

Installation instructions are on the forum. Not that hard to do. I've done three of them so far. Chances are that you will do it more than once.

Sorry for the delay fellas. Turns out it was the wiring (loose/poor connection) under the master window switch. The previous owner installed an aftermarket alarm and had the windows tied into the alarm. Several wires were intercepted or tied into...

All is good now.
