Power window switch problem
I am looking for any suggestions on what to try next, if anyone else has had this type of issue. The power windows in my '03 1500, all operate thru the main driver side switch, but its like the windows have been locked out (its not, checked the lock out button in both positions to be sure) and will not operate with their own switches. I have the downloaded pdf service manual for the truck and have used a meter to check the various pins on the driver side switch and they all have the proper continuity they are supposed to have. Any ideas appreciated.

Re: Power window switch problem
Does the passenger side have a window lock?

Re: Power window switch problem
I am thinking that the lock out switch is stuck in the locked position internallly. The button itself will pop up and stay locked down the way its supposed to, so maybe the contacts inside are messed up. Not too sure if I will be able to get inside the switch but will see.

Re: Power window switch problem
Update: I decided to pick up another driver side master switch at the wreckers..popped her in and it worked like a charm!

Re: Power window switch problem
Well, yours held up a year. I just got an 03 & have the same issues. No rams at the local pullapart, so found a new one on ebay for $57 shipped. Bought on 19th, arrived 22nd. See how long this one holds up.

Re: Power window switch problem
Well, I'm not sure if this applies to you or not. But- where I live (on the west coast in a coastal community) it rains quite often and/or its common for morning mist to roll in off of the ocean. And if you're a knuckle head like me and drive around with your window down about 4 inches all the time and/or forget to roll it up often and the interior door panel gets wet all the time, it's very common to have window anddoor lock switch problems. Instead of going out and buying new ones all that I do is pull the switch or switch panel out, and if you look closely you can see how the back of the switch(or underside) comes apart. They usually come apart in 2 pieces. Remove to plastic (half) on the underside of the switch and you will see the copper contact points of the switch mechanism will be corroded (blue or blue-green corrosion). If you prefer using a spray contact cleaner, that will work. But I often use the eraser on the end of a pencil and/or a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean the contacts and the rest of the mechanism, put it back together and I'm good to go! Til the next time anyways. It's just the nature of the beast , for me anyways. Hope that helps ~
