Window switch or motor, how can I be certain?

[szyzygy]

I need to do this with my passenger side window sometime soon. Drivers side can control, passenger can only lower their window. Sounds like the switch.

You mentioned that you purchased it from Autozone. same guy said, he has never heard of the crc brand. whats up with him. didnt get a chance to visit another automobile store. Will for sure do it tomorrow. I figured i'll try the cleaner and fine sand paper first. hopefully that would do it, if not, i am in for another learning experience, on how to replace the switch. " to be continued"

Go on their website, I swear it is there.

Use emory cloth instead of sand paper

if you can't get it from the idiots at the FLAPS, get it at Radio Shack (CRC electrical contact spray)

go to PEP boys they have it .. I guarantee it .. on the isle with carb cleaner .. all the crc stuff is in the same section ....

Guess what? I have the darn thing! I checked My shelf of lubricant, w-D40, etc. there it was CRC. I still haven't done it. Will do tomorrow. Got busy worrying about the top. I had a little accident with the top. The poor thing, flew while I was driving. Luckylly, I was not on the freeway yet.
I was putting the top on, I got distracted by a phone call. Forgot all about locking the top. OMG. I got scared when it flew, car behind me and all. I quickly pulled to the shoulder, reversed as close as i can to where the top was. No one run it over though. I don't think, otherwise it would be worst than what it is. But one of the thingy broke. Can that be replace? What is it called? It's one of the brackets that folds. Can that be welded? I think it's aluminum. Yes? What to do. Help.

[DRACO A5OG]

Oh my goodness. You are a crazy girl I likeee

Yes, it can be replaced but not welded it is Magnesium and very volitile to the torch.

Contact Dan at carsincnj.com he has all the parts needed. I broke the driverside arm and he sent me a used replacement for $50. Just take care not to break any of the fitment components.

Take a pic and post to confirm which part to ask of him.

Yeah, I guess crazy would be it. . Had to think and act quickly though. I didn't want to loose the top. I heard their pretty pricy. Good idea. I will take a picture and post. Have to be tomorrow though. If its not one thing it's another. Thanks for the advise regarding used part from cars??.com. I'll double check the correct website.

[DRACO A5OG]

Well, if the weather is nice, you can enjoy the top down

Window is fix. I didn't even have to swap any of the switches. CRC cleaner worked. Thx.
Now I can shut my door. Hahaha. While I was doing the switch, I got curious about the latch? Turned it, noe I can't turn it back, even when I use the key. What happened?

[kidrock]

hold the door plunger while you manipulate the latch mechanism on your door jamb by hand.

[Reginabiel]

Hi, all switches are working now. didnt do the swap, i figured ill do the easy step first. which was using the CRC cleaner. this is great. cant believe i am capable of doing this. I even manage to get the mirror adjustment thiggy for the passenger side to work. imagine that? thanks for all you guys help. where have you been all my life.? need to post another issue i have. the broken targa top.
