How to remove the power window switch from the center console of a 1992 infinity g20
Were you to gain access to a dealership, you would find the mechanics usually do not remove the console to work on it
. What they do is have knowledge of where to slip "release" tabs down past the switches so that the switches will pop right out into their hands.
God bless your efforts.

My Mercedes ML 430 drivers electric window has stopped working Im tolld that it is elecrical board under the control buttons needs replacing how do I do this
It can be the board or it can be the switch or the mechanical regulator in the door. The switches are all connected in the center console. First remove the gear surround plastic, it should just pull out. Remove the front cubby area liner so as not to lose anything as you remove the wood trim. Remove the ash tray. Wood trim should pull out and you should see the switch assembly. Try removing that switch from that winow and switching it with another switch on the board and try. Sometimes the switch itself goes bad. If not replace the board. Runs around 150 dollars from the dealer. If that doesnt work the regulator is accessed from removing the door panel.

Good luck.

Rear window stuck-Convertable
does the window try to move, meaning it is stuck in its track, or does the motor not try to move the window? If the latter then look at the rocker switch on your center console that controls the rear windows. I had to replace my switches to get my rear windows working.
