Hyundai Elantra power windows goes down , but does not want to go up.
I fixed this problem by stipping the power switches and filling down the inner metal contracts. I put the switchs back together and got all my windows to work.
The Contacts get burnt , beacuse of the high current the window motor draws.

One by one they went: left rear at 100k miles. Right rear at 110k miles. Right front at 118k miles. Finally, driver's window at 130k miles. From what I understand, there is a ceramic component that is part of the window pulley assembly that wears over time and breaks/shatters/crumbles into a few pieces. I heard that Hyundai wants about $250 to $300 per window to repair. I can see why, as it's almost impossible to get in the window well. Well, that's too much money for me (it almost surpasses the value of the car if I did all 4). I wedged the windows up with some PVC piping and some pressure treated wood. Seems to be working. I do miss the fresh air, though.
