The real fix for the window switch

[BLUECANDY]

I have searched this forum and still could not find proper DIY the master window switch issue many of us face...

Well I said **** it...if I tear it up then Ford Is right down the street I will just go buy another

POP THE TOP PART OFF WITHOUT APPLYING TOO MUCH FORCE

YOU SEE THE DIRTY CONTACTS...THAT IS THE CULPRIT...I GOT SOME 3000 GRIT MINI SAND PAPER FROM A HEADLIGHT RESTORE KIT
CLEAN ALL ALL THE DIRTY CONTACTS. GET SOME NEEDLE NOSE TWEEZERS AND PULL OUT THE CONTACT LEVERS SHOWN BELOW

CLEAN THE LEVERS OFF THEN WIPE WITH ALCOHOL...

ALL WINDOWS LET UP AND DOWN

Good write up!

The write up could have been better but typing on my cell is very challenging.

My next project will be a real fix for the electric seats

Nice I was going to do just this say *:_^ and get in there, I got contact cleaner in my garage, and fine grit paper, so this will be this weekend project. Awesome, now I got a plan! Thanks for the write up and photos

If you already have it apart, you would do well to re-flow (assuming you are good with iron and SMD components) the solder for the LED back lighting. Common failure is to have the led lighting fail on the non supported or cantilevered portion of the pc board.
