- If operation is intermittent after replacement, inspect the connector for corrosion and check the window motor and wiring for continuity.
Why The Part Fails Most Often

- Moisture And Dirt Ingress: Water or dirt entering the switch area can corrode contacts or obstruct the rocker mechanism.
- Mechanical Damage: Broken rockers or clipped retaining tabs from forceful handling or removal/installation errors.
- Electrical Issues: Short circuits, voltage spikes, or poor grounding can damage switch internals over time.
Maintenance Tips
- Keep door seals in good condition to reduce moisture reaching the switch.
