Power windows will only go down when using the key in the door???

on my 1999 cabrio my power windows wont go down using the switches on the inside, but they will go down if u use the key in the door method.. Does anyone know what would be causing this?

probably a bad switch. go to a junkyard and get a  switchset (the one that goes in the door on the inside) unplug the little plugs, plug in the new one and try it. That should work. Otherwise it could be fuse, but if that were the case it shouldn't work with the key.
good luck!

fuse is ok as the window works with the key...try taking the door panel off and look for a broken wire (green with brown tracer)this is a common problem...hopefully this works
