You may be able to just pop up the bezel around the switch but if not then you'll most certainly have to remove the interior door panel. The switch itself cannot be repaired as it's usually a bi-metallic strip inside that makes the 'click', provides the tension, and makes the connection for the window motor. Having said that, the switch itself won't run you very much money and is easy to replace saving you some shop costs. Good luck!

SOURCE: door locks

That is your issue. I found that water had dripped into the power lock switch and shorted out the circuit board. This caused all of the problems that you described above. Replace your driver side door lock switch and you should be set.

ford has an advantage and a curse to thier window buttons. you can disassemble and clean the contacts(I would have a student with electrical background do this) then reassemble it carefully and it will work if contact points are not fried.

I need to learn how to replace the master power window switch for a 2007 Dodge Charger.

You are correct, the switch is broke internally and your have to replace the Switch Assembly. There are 2 ways, taking the Door Panel OFF and then unplugging it from the rear and then it will pop out much easier and less opportunity to do damage to the door panel itself as you can see if it is screwed into position or just retaining clips (metal springs) that you just push down (Slide to the Rear and then the top pulls out ) or if it is held in place by phillips screws... if you go to Ebay and look carefully at the Master Switch, if they flip over the Pics, then you can see if they are Spring or Screw in type. www.car-part.com has these switches if you want to purchase a used switch or www.ebay has them also for less money and sometimes you get them from a dealer for less.

The window switch on the drivers door to raise and lower the rear passenger is not working. I was able to lower the window but now it is stuck in the down position. Is there a way to override and roll up...


  • So if I understand you correct the drivers door switch is not working for the rear window.
  • Try using the the switch on the rear door for that window then.
  • The master switch is great to work all windows but the rear window switch should still work as well even if the master switch on the drivers door fails.
  • Now if both switches should don't work then it may not be a switch failure at all. this could be a wiring issue or a burnt window motor/regulator.
  • In this case you will nee some help as you are going to "help" the regulator out. Once you get it up I advise to let it be until repaired. You don't want to stress the track up to much before the whole assembly is replaced (should this be the problem).
  • So if both switches don't respond the your going to grab the window (one hand on each side of the window) as if your palms are touching and pull up at the same time the switched is being pushed up.
  • It may take a bit to get it but it will be fine.
  • If the window is down in the door (in the way down position) then get your fingers in there and grab the window and slowly pull up on it. Make sure the switch is being pushed to roll the window up at the same time.
  • Once you get it up a bit then take it the rest of the way as explained above.
  • I have had to do this on a few occasions and it works fine.

  • Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Regards, Tony

The sliding doors on our 2006 Honda Odyssey

Happened to me today on my 2007 non-powered slider. Big snowstorm, lots of ice. I forced the door open from the outside and could not close it. Lots of fun driving home. I let it thaw in the garage and saw that the assembly was engaging, the lock was still spring loaded....and it works now. Last year, on the other side of the car, the slider would not close and it was because the assembly lost its spring. Dealer had to take the whole door off and replace the part. 500+ dollars.

2003 grand caravan drivers window will not roll down, although the controller on the drivers door will roll down the passengers window. any suggestions?

Open the passenger side door & wiggle the harness while pressing the button. If it works then there's a broken wire inside the rubber harness. If not check the passenger side switch for power. Use a test light to verify it switches from up to down. If it doesn't replace the switch.

The power windows dosen't work

You must remove the door trim panel, it is held on with screws and spring type clips, the screws will be hidden under trim covers that pop off, don't force it!! or you will end up with a ruined panel, about $450 to replace.
