I took it apart and used a fingernail file on the contacts, working now. I will report back in a few days on how its working.

Glad you were able to fix it.

I don't know if you priced any but you dodged a $110 bullet ($80 if you buy 3rd party). Congrats!

Not fixed, disappointed
Relay under the dash clicks each time I press the switch, but the window does not move unless it is in the mood to move. Very finicky.

I priced them on ebay (used and new) over the week end, they ranged from $35 to $200.

This is the one I got from 1A Auto for my 2003 with/automatic down for the driver's window:

2003 Ford F250 Super Duty Truck Power Window Switch Front Driver Side for Crew Cab Models at 1A Auto.com

Days after I got it I found an OEM one on Amazon (new) for $90. The switch works well and it looks just like the OEM one. My contact was too far gone to do any kind of repair/corrosion removal so I had no choice but to get a new one. The wrecking yards are a good distance to get to and most of them won't part out a door liner.

i would still take the door panel down and test the plug into the motor for power. this will tell you if it is the switch or motor.if the relay is clicking, 99% chance the switch is good and the motor is dying.
