Faulty passenger window switch......AGAIN??

[IwantMKIII]

Alright, i got my 'new' switches in the mail a week or so back. I installed them and worked great short of the fact my 88faceplate won't work on the driver side now. After a week or so the passenger window button (on the driver side switch) works only 25% of the time when puttuing the window down. It works a lot more often going up. My original switch had this same problem but opposite, worked down but not up. After having this swithc only a week is this a coincidence or could something else maybe be somehow frying my switches?

I was having the same issues, I took out the drivers side switch box, opened it up and cleaned the little metal contacts that are under the switch.
While I was at it I did the auto up mod. My windows work great now.

Edit: Is it a brand new switch or used one?

Sounds like the motor is dying.

If you're going to be opening up the window switch, please take you're time and don't lose any parts.

I had to learn this the hard way

I have to agree. Pulled the switch apart in driveway. Almost had to order a new switch. My contacts were burnt and I cleaned, sanded, and relubed an it has worked like a charm since. About 6 months now.

my driver side just started exibiting the signs.....my passenger side works perfect.....for now............IOW not the motor

Is it possible a not properly grounded relay/fuse could be burning the switches out??
