what switch do i need and where can i get it :D

[dthebuk]

OK so my passenger window will only go down from the drivers side switch and the only way to make it go up is with the passengers switch. So is there a specific switch that i need to change? Any info welcome

cheers

Just try working the switches continually, or take them apart and get some emery cloth on the contacts. This problem is normally from lack of use :wave

[dthebuk]

okey doke. So are these pretty different to the switches for the lights? Seeing as most people seem to replace them

[Brett]

The light/Wiper switches are actually operating a series of minature relays - its the relays that fail in those units.  The window switches are just that - switches, so a fix should be simple enough. :wave

are you talking about FC or FD.

i have FC doorcards, so have both driver and passenger switches available, should yours have fatal issues.

I had the same problem, pretty sure was lack of use..... they now work due to passangers trying to get it to work lol!!!

[dthebuk]

well i took the switch apart today and it now works fine

Though i wasnt pleased that after taking the whole door card out i realized there was no need.

[Matts-gen2]

yeah i did the same trying to get the switches out today incase you did need them .

haha.

:rollin

if you buy the switches make sure that they are the same, I had a drivers side one that had the auto function on it and apparently the wiring is different, cant confirm that but I have since sold the switch (£30).  nearly all the ones I have seen dont have this function.

ahh.. another useful thread... I shall get out there this evening with the emery cloth... so I take it you don\'t need to remove the door card to remove the switch ?
