[QUOTE="Tonimus, post: 26509, member: 12914"] My OEM window switch was no longer sending the driver's window down automatically. It hasn't worked since before I got it, so I didn't even know it was a thing until the passenger one went all the way down with just a bump. Got an Amazon replacement and installed it. Sad trombone noise. The window went down as it should, but the door courtesy light stopped working and the door lock actuator would fail to cycle properly like 20% of the time. I decided to tear my OEM switch apart. If you go slow and mind what you're doing, it comes apart pretty well. I cleaned the PCB contacts and the switch contact pads with isopropyl. Reassembled and reinstalled back in the door. Everything is back to working as it should! If you have electrical rather than mechanical failure of the switch, I'd suggest cleaning it first. EDIT: See below for pictures. [/QUOTE]
