anyone ever have a window switch break?

The drivers door window switch no longer controls the front pass window. I pulled the switch and traced the power with my light and meter. The switch is faulty.

I'll bet its 4x as expensive as the pass side

Check the dealer. It may not be as bad as you think.

Had the same happen to me on, the tech said watch on a rainy day where the water goes when the window is open alittle. Well we all learn that the water over time will do something to the switch.Maybe in 2007 the new design might help.
