If no windows work might be a fuse or that some electric motors went out my best bet if not message me back

I was just about to take my door apart, because "Holding Up Button Door Slam" method was not working. I rolled the window down all the way and could hear the clicking when it hit bottom, but no sound when I pressed up. That made me think motor still working. I went under hood and pulled P/WIN RELAY, without disconnecting battery. It was really hot. Let it cool in my hand for about 5 min. On my second try my window rolled back up. I put my tools away! :-}

Passenger window wouldn't go up. Waited 5 minutes;tried again. Window went up. Maybe slamming the door helped? Maybe motor just needed to cool down.

I have the same issue. I hear the motor working when I push the button down, but not up. Ive tried slamming the door really hard. Nothing is working. Im wondering if I should bring it up to the shop.

I had the same problem in our car; the front passenger power window switch would lower the window but it would not raise/close it and it could only be done from the driver's master switch. This told me that there was nothing wrong with the passenger window motor. I was about to open the door panel and replace the window switch that I saw the above comment by Dorian. I did the same thing; looked under the hood in the fuse box and found fuse/relay B+2 which is responsible for power windows. Even though I could not totally remove the fuse (60 Amp fuse) as it was a part of a larger block of fuses, I was able to partially raise the block as if I was removing it and that did the trick!! The front passenger power window now opens and closes fine!! It looks like in these model Sportage cars, the fuse/relay gets too much load and it has to be reset. Thank you, Dorian.

My 2013 Sportage the passenger window was opening/closing from the driver side no problem but the passenger side it was closing but not opening. I tried the 60A fuse under the hood and nothing happen, so i remove the switch and opened. The cooper contacts inside the switch were dirt black, so i just cleaned with a screw driver and BAM!, the window worked like a charm.

The driver side front is working with the back door, but the passenger side front and back is not working.

It may be the switch contact is dirty, you simply need to remove and open the switch (be very careful because there are some tiny parts that can go jump missing) and look at the contact, if it is dark color an not shiny, clean it with a screwdriver and voá-la, you got yourself a problem solved.
