Window Switch

[kiell2005]

Due to much use, my power window switch for the drivers side window has started to only work occasionally. Is the switch a fairly generic one or do I have to get one from the dealership? Has anyone used a radioshack type one?

Thanks

The switch for the driver's door actually houses all four (or two) switches in one unit, depending on whether you have a four-door or two-door.

They can be purchased aftermarket at the usual places (autozone, NAPA) or online (rockauto.com) just to name a few. Being that it's for the driver's door, it will be substantially more expensive than the single switches. I've never heard of anyone attempting to use a radioshack switch, so I can't really answer that one.

You could also get one pretty cheap at a junk yard, but not everybody is willing to do that.

I'd try cleaning it out before you purchase a new one.
Some caned air works great for blowing any dust or dirt out.

These tend to get dirty and or the plug connector gets a little corrosion on the tabs from moisture leaking in and causes them to not work properly.

Also try wiggling it side to side when it doesnt work.

This link has some pics of the switch disassembled.

Hope that helps.
