Windows Switches Failing

[seduced]

Hi all, been a while since I've been here. Still got the xrT and still loving it.

Have had no problems with the car at all except the drivers side windows switch cluster decided to start playing up a few week back. Both the left passenger windows will happily go down using the drivers switch but will not come back up. The only way to get them up is by using the passenger switches.... annoying.

They both failed within days of each other.... yet to pull it apart and have a good look, thought I'd throw a quick message up here in case someone else has had it, might save me some time.

Thoughts? I;m thinking it could be too much dash treament spray might have leaked in there... maybe..

Very common problem. This will happen more and more as these cars start to get older.

The contacts in the switch break down. Sometimes cleaning the switch contacts will get it working again. In most cases it will require a new switch assembly.

Great. Will clean the contacts and go from there. I noticed they are not that expensive on ebay etc. Might see if I can grab some iiluminated ones instead.... thanks for your reply/
