Hey guys so I'm not new to forums but I'm new to the Explorer forum. I own an 02' xlt 4x4 and as I put my passenger window down today it wouldn't go back up. I read a few other forums checked fuses and power to the switch. Everything is good there. I even swapped switches with one of the rear windows and the switch worked fine. The only thing I notice is that when I use either the master or the pass. switch and I push the down arrow the green light that comes through the switch stays on, but when I push up, the pass. switch light goes out. Is it some sort of wiring problem or a bad motor? For my second issue as of about a week ago, whenever I drive at any speed, there is a small vibration that I can not only hear but feel on the floorboard and on up to the steering wheel. The catch is that it only happens when I turn the car to the right, not the left. I have no idea with this one could be. Maybe upper and lower ball joints? Any and all help with either of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
 






As far as the switches, I'd look into the door wiring to make sure nothing is getting kinked. Seems to be a common problem. But it could be anything:(

As far as feeling a vibration when you turn, I would bet it's your front wheel bearing. Give it some time and if you start noticeing a rum rum rum noise that gets slower as you come to a stop(wheels striaght), then your bearings are toast. If that ends up being the case, make sure you replace both at once because the other isn't far behind.
