Subject:Power Window Switch Repairs
From:Wes Neuenschwander
Date:Fri, 9 Jun 2000 08:18:57 -8

The front-most power window switch on the driver's side (the one that
controls the passenger side window) has gotten progressively more
sticky over the last year or so.  It primarily sticks in the window up
position, causing the window motor to make a clicking sound (I'm
assuming it's an overload/overheat relay in the window motor) and
frequently interferes with the operation of the passenger side switch.
The basic problem with the 'sticky' switch seems to be mechanical;
that is, it seems that the rocker mechanism is jamming, perhaps
against the switch cover bezel piece or even within the interior switch
mechanism.

Is there any way of removing and dissassembling this unit?  How
difficult is removal of the switch assembly?
