2002 Sportage power window issues. The 3 passenger door switches don't function at all Main switch at drivers door is only working switch... but still won't operate rear windows... just front. I'm thinking the main 4switch unit has a faulty power connection but I have ZERO manual or schematic to go by. whassup wit dat? --- Also I have no clue how to get TO the 4 switch bank. I only see two screws on the door panel and the switch trim feels locked down when I tried to pry (gently). --- all help is appreciated.

there are fuses under the hood also relays there . also there are fuses inside the car check them .. if all checks good you are in for changing a window motor out .. pull the switch and make sure you do have juice to the switch when the key is on .. thanks jerry holler if you need more.

I have a 99 Kia Sportage that had the exact same problem. You can fix the switches without having to spend ANY money to replace them! You first have to remove the door panel. Disconnect the wires going to the switch and then remove the switch from the panel. Remove all the screws from the botoom of the switch, including the ones holding the metal clips. Then carefully pry each side upwards from the locking tabs and pull the switch apart. BE CAREFUL not to lose the little metal rockers inside the switch! Now all you have to do is clean all the contacts and rockers with a brass wire brush, or fine sanpaper, (or even a good ink eraser will work). Then put the switch back together, reinstall it, and test it out! You'll be back in business and didn't spend a dime! I did this with my 98 Ford Windstar, too.
