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? -Wes Wes Neuenschwander Seattle, WA wesn@eskimo.com |
