This fix just worked for me. Did it while waiting at the train station. In my case, it was the master switch for the right rear window that was dead. Around 45 seconds of working the switch and voila! the window moves again. :D

This post is from 2011, 7 years ago.

The Factory Master Window switch finally died a few years ago.
Per forum recommendation, I purchased the Master Switch made by "Switch Doctor" for $25 a few years ago.
It works flawlessly and it is solid state, so moving parts to die.

One down side of the Master Switch made by "Switch Doctor": at night the light is a bit brighter than the rest of the car.
But this is not an issue at all b/c when driving at night, we look forward and not at the Master Switch.
