3rd window switch replacement
Car is a 2008 C63 figured i would post in here instead of the C63 group since i don't think the window switch is AMG related and prolly the same across all w204's.
So the buttons were chipping on my drivers side window switch so i ordered a replacement on rockauto figuring it's a window switch and a none oem replacement would be up to the task. Replaced it and it worked fine went to put the windows down the next day and nothing no power to the mirrors windows etc so i pull the door panel back off unplug the switch plug it back in and it works put it together again and the same thing a day later so i figured just a faulty switch got another replacement and it does the same thing works for a day and then after the car sits does not work again until i go unplug it again i always wiggle the hell out of the switch turn the car on and off multiple times before i put the panel back on so it is not coming loose any ideas before i order a 3rd switch this time oem.
also threw away the oem switch when the first replacement came in rookie mistake i know

Just wanted to update replaced with a oem switch a few days ago and zero issues so far I am assuming the aftermarket switch is missing a capacitor or something that the oem switch has because it works fine initially and even a few hours later but always not working the next day.
