Electrical / repair to window switch

« on: August 10, 2010, 01:26:11 PM »

I took switch apart and cleaned contacts reasembled and now it works!!!!

Thanks

Open the switch and clean it. pretty sure that it's the problem. It's somwhat an easy job to do.

1 take out switch
2 take 2 fine screwdrivers and seperate both halves. be carefull when opening it not to loose any parts (the buttons are spring loaded and the top half retains them.)
3 take a piece of sandpaper and clean the contacts. (basicly every part that looks burnt)
4 make sure no debris/ dirt is left in the switch
5 put it back together
6 enjoy your ''new'' free switch

Just tried your idea of swopping switches (I dont know why I didnt think of it!)
and it worked fine  
Thanks very much you have made my day as I have spent hours fiddling about with it

Thanks again
