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!

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.
