Window Switch Cleaning

Pics on switch cleaning. Start with a clean work area. The bottom of the switches have white plastic pins that push against the metal to activate the switch. They have springs inside of them, be careful you don't lose any of the springs.

Remove the 2 screws.

Pull up the rubber protector. You will see the end of the pin. One end is smaller than the other. Push it out from that end

There is a small pin that holds the window "lock" switch in place. Push it out also.

Clean with electrical parts cleaner and put a small amount of Dielectrics grease on it and reassemble.

Once you push the pins out, the switches will separate from the parts that need cleaning.

 

A clean one and a dirty one. Notice the 2 slots on it. When you re-assemble, they go into slots to keep you from putting them in backwards

Jimmy ... I know this is a 14 year old thread - do have the pictures to fix this thread?  My drivers side window stopped working yesterday and I'd like to try cleaning the switch up first.
