my drivers window switch died today. im gonna try to fix it but in case i cant anyone have one ?

Geoffman72 09-06-2002 06:05 PM

How many miles on this one? I know thats not the best way of approximating life of a window switch, but they usually go out at close to 100k.



You should be able to fix them. Just be careful about bending the copper tabs or they might short or not work at all!

Shane.Trammell 09-06-2002 06:25 PM

93000 miles. ive got it all taken apart now i have to work on it

Geoffman72 09-06-2002 06:32 PM

Yep, thats about right.



All I used was some fine grit sandpaper. I accidentally bent mine and took another 3 hours replacing the window fuse and getting them bent back to where they would work right and not short.

134 new from rx7world.com. 50 used on ebay. in the words of evilt2 "it looks like its been sitting at the bottom of a lake.

You could always run toggle switches for now, hide them under the dash or in the console or some ****, just lay out the money for a new one, I paid something like $65 NEW just last year, $134 is crazy ****, have you at least checked your local dealer? People dont even check anymore, they just like to see whats on the internet before giving the dealer a chance. I call the dealer, and the NEXT day the part is at my door, it doesnt get any better then that, no shipping and handling crap, getting at least 20% off with no tax is good as well.

Shane.Trammell 09-09-2002 10:34 AM

just say no to the dealer. mine sucks

How does your dealer suck? Your asking for a window switch, there is no way to mess that up.

Shane.Trammell 09-10-2002 09:29 PM

they suck bc they are rude and i dont want to deal with them. they always charge too much anyways. they try to do stuff to your car that you dont need. they wanted to charge me $112 for a wheel cap. before i got the car it had an electrical problem so they rebuilt the engine. ummm im sure i can think of more

Only buy parts from them, no service. I get my parts the very next day to my door, I cant complain at all, call on the phone, and they show up, at least 20% off, no tax, no leaving them a deposit ****, I have good words about my dealer, maybe they dont like you? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif

they probably dont. they dont like people who are in love with their cars.

good gawd, I got both sides for mine for 10 bucks, Mazda recyclers scrap yard in Troutdale, both were almost as good as new. For 134 dollars they could kiss my ass!

Shane.Trammell 09-11-2002 08:41 PM

hey can you get some for me?
