2006 Power Window Problem
My driver's side window switch began working sporadically. If i held the switch down long enough or pushed down hard enough it would work. After months of this all windows stopped working. I replaced the #401 (30-amp breaker) but they still dont work. What now?

Sometimes, not always, if i pushed on the window button nothing would happen. But when the window did move - it was at normal speed. Happened randomly. After several months of this i got in started the engine and none of my windows work.

I had the same problem. A few people on the forum reported the same problem. I had my window switch changed and that fixed the problem. Some people have removed the drivers side switch and cleaned out the contacts and is working fine. If you do a search on here you should come up with some hits.

My 2006 also suffers from this issue... Sometimes I have to push pretty hard on the switch to get the window to move.
I found this walkthrough that explains what causes this and shows how to fix it. It has lots of pictures and it pretty detailed.

Did this procedure on my 06 a few months ago; drivers window was intermittent and has worked fine ever since.
Scrape the contacts gently with a dental pick and apply light coat of anti-oxidant jelly, the kind used on bulbs and trailer harness connectors.
I used GROTE brand in a tube.
