Automatic Window Problem

Automatic Window Problem
Hey guys, I've been having some issues with my passenger side automatic window control. When I hit auto and let it go up it reaches the top, then goes back down 1/4 of the way. It doesnt fall, but rather the motor(?) brings it down. If I hold the button up while closing it, it stays up.
Has anyone had this problem before? Do I need a new reglulator/motor?

Driver window one touch up RESET procedure - TIP!!
With the help of the technical service manual on CD produced by Nissan on the 2002 and 2003 Maxima I now have located the quick fix for a problem I have had since purchasing my used 2002 SE a few months ago. That is the drivers door window one-touch up function for the window was not working properly. The window would go up to the top and then retreat about 5 inches back down again. This problem is due to the limit switch needing to be reset which at first I thought would be a considerable job (to take off the door panel etc.) but ended up being literally a 2 minute job as the door panel can remain in place. My dealer wanted $85 CDN for the switch reset which I knew was a rip off before I found the fix procedure myself. I know several '02 and '03 Maxima owners have had this same problem as I saw earlier threads referencing it but no-one then appeared to know the fix. Alhough this procedure is simple once you do it, my description seems long as I wanted to be a descriptive as possible since I can't provide pictures. So here it is:
Step 1: Pry the plastic cap up off the bottom centre of the door pull handle and remove the single philips screw.
Step 2: Remove the whole switch panel (in which the door pull handle sits) by prying it up from the back end either with a flat edged screwdriver or table knife (under cloth) or by hand which is what I did. It is just clipped in so should come out relatively easily sliding it up at the back and then pulling it back.
You can now see the inside of the door from where the switch finishing plate sat. You can leave the wiring all attached and simply hang the switch and handle plastic assembly to one side so you can see the inside of the door.
Look inside towards the front bottom of the door behind the plastic vapour barrier you will see a small black switch. It almost looks like a black pan screw head. This is the reset switch but there is a sequence to now doing the actual reset procedure. The switch doesn't really feel like one when you press it through the plastic liner which incidentally you don't need to cut (at least I didn't have to). It is a switch that is only on when you are pressing it otherwise when released it is off.
STEP 3: Make sure the window is closed (up) completely. Turn the ignition on so the windows are receiving power.
a) Press the reset switch (and keep it pressed in) and open (down) the window completely (manually -NOT with AUTO ONE TOUCH DOWN FUNCTION).
b) Release the reset switch. Then close the window completely (manually only - NOT AUTO UP).
c) The limit switch is now reset. Easy!!!
This procedure worked for me straight away as I hope it will for you should you have this annoying problem. The Nissan manual does caution you not to use the one touch UP-DOWN function during this procedure so be warned.

Do I need to apply the same fix or do something else?

I'm having a difficult time finding that small black switch. Is it made out of rubber?

Actually, I have a 2000 with an auto-up driver's side. Call me stupid, but I can't find the black switch for the life of me. Anyone with advice for a 2000...or finding this mysterious button?

auto window fails when auto up function is used.
He dudes, I have encountered the same problem on my 2k2. My driver side window did the same thing. when you auto up, it would come down 3/4 of the way. This is normal if something blocks the window. I took it in to the dealer and they reset the window.
A few months later, the same thing happened. Again, I took it to the dealer to reset. I was not charged for the first two visits. Afew months later the issued occurrred again!
When I took it to the dealer this time I was charged $56 bucks. I complained that they never really resolved the issue and asked why I was being charged. I requested that they replace the motor and or control mechanism. The service rep said that they would try a different approach this time. They reset the window limit and I have not had the problem since.

I'm unable to find the switch. I can't make it out behind the plastic and am hesitant to start cutting the plastic before I have at least an idea of where it is. Attached are two pictures of what I'm looking at. Any ideas where specifically I should be looking. Thanks

I am still unable to find the button. I am having the problem on my passenger side door so do I look for the button on the passenger side or the drivers side?
Also, one poster said it is behind the letter F but I can't even find that.
