Master window switch 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be SteveW on  Wed Aug 13 15:55 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I have had fits with my master window switch. The drivers side window goes down but will not go down. I have bought and returned two of them on ebay. The first one would not go up on the right rear window and the second one would not up on the right front side. I am coming to the conclusion that there is a design problem with them. Have any of you had problems with that switch? How did you solve it?
Thanks in advance.

    i have had intermittent troubles with mine also, after spraying a can of CNC contact cleaner through and working the schmutz off the contacts it works better but the drivers window is "twitchy" when going up.

    i have had better luck with salvage yards for parts like this.

    good luck!

    Those console window switches were a poor design. All of the crud falls into the switch, especially from the flimsy cup holders.
    Your choice is to buy a new-in-box unit or gamble with a junk yard one. People have taken them apart and cleaned the tarnish off the contacts, but it is not a very easy job.
