Window switch quit working

[Radshooter]

The switch on my driver's door that controls the passenger front window quit working a few days ago. The window works from the passenger switch, so I am sure it is the switch in my door.

I popped the module out of the arm-rest, but couldn't find any loose wires. Is it worth taking the module itself apart? Can the individual switch be replaced or do I have to replace the entire module?

I tried contact cleaner spray, but that didn't do any good.

Thanks for any ideas.

Here is a thread on the subject. Someone had soldered a jumper wire acress on the circuit board that enabled the window to work, but would not allow windows to be locked out. I did the same on my 03 and it worked. Can't really remember exactly where to solder the wires though. Have sold the truck so can't go back and take a look.

From what I understand you can find the module from online dodge parts sources for about $90 and they are about $130 from the local dealer. Good luck.

It may be worth the time to take the switches apart. I had a Mustang where the contacts were a little burned. Cleaned them with sandpaper and they worked for a few more years.

Thanks guys. I guess I will tear into it a little farther when I get a chance. I think I will try replacing just the switch first. Another forum pointed me to Rockauto. I may order one of the switches just to have on hand.

Thanks again

You may want to check the wire harness from the chassis to the door harness. I have replaced both my rear chassis to door harnesses after the insulation gets hard and cracks the wires.
