Window Switch Restore?

My driver's side window switch on my '86 is getting a bit flaky. When these go, can they typically be restored with a contact cleaning? Or is it usually a mechanical issue, and I should just order a new one now?

some guy sells a plug in kit on ebay so that the switches stop failing, the load through the switch constantly burns the contacts inside them. cheaper than new switches and is a cure, not a bandaid like a new switch.

Thanks for the tip. I had already done a search, but he didn't show up on Canadian Ebay since he doesn't ship internationally.

Would you be able to link it? I can't find him either, and I'd also be interested in purchasing it if I can get him to ship to Canada.

The seller of the switch kit is RotaryEvolution on here. Send him a PM if you're interested in the kit.

I already found him on Ebay.com and contacted him. He is looking into Cdn shipping tonight.


Thanks RXSpeed16.
