I f'd up the pass-side switch on the driverside! now it won't rest securely nor will it pop back up once you press on it! this is what I did: I used a small flathead screwdriver to pry out the switch, and it looks like I might have broken the circular things that encircle the two small protrusions on either side of the switch what do I do now??????

also, I blew a fuse because the switch was not secure on the console. it turned out the two ball bearings touched and as I pressed the switches, it blew the fuse. this might be a silly question, but could I have fried any electrical parts, relays when I short-circuited the switched? thanks everyone!

edit to add: now pass-side switch won't work! will only go/down from driverside!

I broke the tabs that were holding the switch down when I attempted to repair my passenger-side window switch. I gave up and let my mechanic replace the switch altogether. He also replaced the driver's side switch, as that was what was supposedly causing the problem.

I don't think you fried any parts when you short-circuited it, but you will need a new fuse.

At the very least, it sounds like you need a new switch rocker. Apparently the method of removal you and I tried is not the right one.
