Power Window Question

[JMT]

I’m a member of a Tahoe-Yukon forum, but responses are so slow I thought I’d ask this easy question to my Jeep peeps.

Can just one window up-down switch be bad in a panel like this? Only the one with the arrow doesn’t work. That’s the drivers side window, which gets used the most, of course.

My Lincoln had the same issue. Bought the driver's side control panel (used) with all the switches off Ebay for $30. That gave me not only the one switch I needed, but three extras (all the same switch). Just a thought.

Yes! Happened on an old vehicle we used to own, where only one switch went bad, but it was an entire assembly like that where you had to replace the entire thing.

Yep, this one requires the entire assembly. Amazon has the cheapest I can find, free shipping, but not on Prime.

Thanks to all for help. Looks like I’m ponying up for one of these bad boys so I can fix a modern convenience that drives me nuts! Power windows!? Arghhh.

My Avalanche had that happen. On a whim, I took it out and blasted it with a can of electrical contact cleaner. Worked fine for 4 more years until I got rid of it. Might work for you too.

Thanks for that. The part is coming in soon, but I might give that a shot before changing it out. Why toss a good part if it can be salvaged? Much appreciated.

Just installed Electric-Life power windows. Easy install, work perfectly, fast. I mounted the driver double switch on the console front & chunked the passenger switch. Now, need a 5 pin quick disconnect to take doors off. Anybody done this ? Looks like 14 awg wire.
