WIndow Switches...

[Lwanmtr]

Looks like I need to replace my window switches...one does nothing, the other only one direction...

Wondering if these are available anywhere (for less than the $50 DMCH charges)?

Thanks

Mine were fine but the white wore off the arrows so I got these Renault ones off eBay. They require you to trim the plastic slightly where they plug in is all, they have a nice solid click. They aren't as wide as the originals but I kind of like that. They are super cheap, and even with expedited shipping they are less than anything else.

I do, but will probably hang onto them for the time being. I found a photo of the ones I installed, including the area that'll need trimmed. I just crudely cracked it off with some pliers.

Before you just get new switches, Pop them out of the locations and swap sides. You may have a bad Window motor if nothing happens with the switches swapped.

I did that already...hehe...one is dead, the other only works one way.

As for motors...yeah I knew they were bjorked already...and have new actuators, same result

The switches can be cleaned. I successfully disassembled and cleaned both of 5052's switches last year. Due to the learning curve involved with the reassembly the first one took a bit longer than the second switch, which I was able to complete in a matter of minutes.

Due to the small springs and contacts inside the switch, I would recommend cleaning the switch on a table in a well-lit area.

I bought a couple switches..came to about half the cost DMCH charges for one.

I may try and clean the old swtiches...but this way I'll have ones that work until I get around to it.
