Hey guys!

So all my windows work fine from their individual switches, but for some reason i cannot fully control the right side windows from the drivers master switches.
Actually I can get one of them up, and the other one down but not both ways.

Any ideas?

The switch contacts are not fantastic in these. You could try repeatedly operating the switch in the direction it does not work and hope the contacts clean up and it starts to work. I've had to do that on the individual door switches for my rears as they rarely get operated.

Failing that, you're up for a new master switch block

Truth be said,  if i try 20 times to get it to work maybe one of them it will.

Can i clean them manually somehow?? or i just need a replacement?

I don't know if you can pull them apart to clean on that model, but most electronic contacts build up with dust and fluff over time. If you can pull them apart, give them a blow with compressed air then use this :link: SCA Contact and Circuit Board Cleaner - 350g | Supercheap Auto

If you can't pull them apart, just try spraying contact cleaner down the side of the switches and hope for the best.

They're not too hard to disassemble to board level, likely best bet if you want to get to the contacts with cleaner

Have had this on several FDs.  WD40 may work; but, it usually came down to electronic component failure (diodes) in the driver master bank.
