Ever had your electric window decide it doesnt want to play ball? Will go up no problem but wont go down, sometimes goes down sometimes wont budge? This is probably a cheap fix to the problem!
First of all remove the plastic trim from the doorcard so you can remove your switch..
Next thing to do is remove the top of the switch by inserting a small flat scewdriver where shown and lever the top off..
You will then see 2 metal / plastic switch pieces, take these out but dont forget which way round anything goes or reassembly will be difficult!
You will now be left with a hole full of cr@p! We will clean this out later!
Next we need to split the switch into 2 pieces, insert a small flat screwdriver where shown to release the small clips, the case should then come apart fairly easily...
And you will then have access to the circuit board...
When you take the case apart you will almost definitly have a couple of silver discs fly out! this isnt the end of the world but dont loose them!!! These discs need to be cleaned as this is what usualy causes the problem! The best way to do this is with a bit of fine sandpaper to take of any deposits and then a wipe off with some cloth with a bit of WD40 on. (Will help prevent build up again!) After cleaning all 4 discs clean the prongs underneath..
Then put the circuit board back in the base making sure all the discs sit like this..
Then put the case back together (clean the top part out first, i soacked mine in warm water!!) Then put the metal switch pieces back in (again give them a clean first) and then finaly push the top switch cover back on and its all fixed!
This saved me £15.00 and took about 10 minuites overall, hope its of some use to you!!
Thanks!!
