i have to slam down my buttons next to me to put my windows down. and the passengers button doesnt work at all, anything i can clean or anything?

 

Yeah. Quit slamming the buttons because you're only making it worse. You will probably need to remove the interior door panel for this, but look at the contact points of the buttons. There is probably dirt stuck in there. Just clean it and you should be fine.

 

Take them out, clean up the contacts with some fine grit sandpaper, apply some di-electric grease, reassemble, and enjoy.

 

i think they are notorious for breaking not working right

on mine i took the top part off and there are little white plastic "button" things. it looks terrible, but it works better. the switch hangs out some and the wires are exposed. that or you can buy another one

 

no, dont need to take panel off, the thing pops out w/ a flathead

 

ill check it out, im gonna pop them out and see whats going on

 

when i fixed mine i took the door pannel off and took the switch out. If you open the switch up there should be 4 copper things that rock back and forward. on my 86 GXL i bent the copper pieces so they rocked better. i had to play around with it for a bit but it did the trick. the driver side is the same, but if you break it it costs twice a much for a new one.

 

just fixed it.
popped the switches out of the door. cleaned the contacts up, workin perfect =)

 

Is there a simple mod that will make both windows express down from the driver door?

 

i have seen one touch modules for windows. i don't know if they would work on an FC though. i don't remember where i saw them but call up an alarm shop they should know where to get them

 

The aftermarket one touch modual for our windows is the DEI 530T window controller. Any viper or python alarm dealer should be able to get it for you.

besides adding one touch up and down, to both windows, it also can be wired up to roll up the windows when you lock the car with a keyless entry, or roll the windows down with an extra channel of the remote keyless or remote control alarm system.
*edit

The other cool thing with it is that your factory window switchs become low current switchs, so the ground and power to roll the windows up nd down, is no longer forced to travel through the switch contacts. The 530T provides all that, so the switchs simply trigger the 530T and the 530T then provides the power and ground to roll the windows up and down. This radically increases the life of the switchs.

 

my pass. side didnt work before so i cleaned the contacts on them. u wont belive how much crap is in those things....work fine now! =)

 

on the one i bought for mine the plastic "boxes" that hold the spring loaded "feeler" cracked so that when i pushed the button, it just flexed and wouldnt push up on the copper tabsto make the windows go up or down

i tried to take several other switches and combine them to form one good one but i ended up just getting one from banzai

now my master window switch panel sits comfortably in the center console with no pass switch or roll up handlees

If you have any more problems in the furture....clean it and put a small soder bead on it to build up the conections. They wear down the more you use it. Should get you a good year out of them, saves you from having to replace them. It's worked great for us.

 

I just priced new window switches from mazda, the driver door three swiitch is $165 and the passenger side is like $60. Has anyone ever rewired the switch into a little rocker switch of some kind??

 

thats robbery. better off looking at ebay ..haha

 

No ****! my passenger window is all the way down, and the driver side is half way up! My $24,000 truck is outside and my $1000 TII gets the heated garage.
