Power Window Switches
Short answer: If pressing on the switch makes the window work, the culprit is usually the wiring connector, not the switch — the hairpin-type connector loses tension after overheating (from a poor connection or a binding window/motor).
Fix:
- Disconnect the battery first.
- Clean the switch pins with a Scotch-Brite pad.
- Open the connector harness (small screws), lift out the wiring, and gently squeeze each connector where it slides onto the switch post to re-tension it.
- A little dielectric/no-corrode grease on the terminals helps maintain contact.
