Window Switches....

Hey Folks,

Wanted to know if anyone has had a similiar prob like us...

Tomorrow will be my FIFTH trip to the dealership about my window switches. It's already been replaced twice!

Symptoms? Drivers side and rear passenger right side switch keeps going out...it won't go down...everytime we take it in, they replace the switch, works, then a day later, stops. They've checked fuses, lines and last visit they replaced it with a new switch saying the previous one was defective...however even with the new one in, it's stopped working again, so any ideas ???

Getting sh*t tired of driving it out the the dealership darn near every other week!

here you go

here is Rodneys DIY on window fixes. I've done it myself and it's farely simple and the best part is that it's FREE.

Thanks Wfung, but I think you've missed my point, it has been replaced twice under extended warranty...it just went back to the dealership again this morning and the prob seems like a short circuit somewhere...

Ask them to replace the wiring harness that feeds the switches this time...
