A few window switches have gone bad - any ideas/solutions?
Hi,
For a while now I've been putting up with a few bad window switches and I'm getting a little tired of it.
Basically the rear windows switches will allow the window to go down, but not up (nothing happens when you pull the switch up). Only my driver side unit will pull the window back up.
Also my driver side unit's buttons for the rear are extremely tough. You have to pull up really hard on the driver sides rear switch to get it to go up.
Lastly, the passenger front sides window switch needs to have a huge amount of downward pressing force to make it go down.
So my question is - Is there anyway to fix these switches? I'm leaning in the direction to simply replace the bad ones. If so where is the cheapest place to get some new switches? I tried a Lexus dealer for one at it was $110. (OUCH!) Any of Toyota's parts cross over for a 93 LS400? I'm sure Toyota's parts will be a lot less $$$.
I've tried a few junkyards but they are expensive and selling the entire unit. All I need is the small little switches.
Also the passenger front sides door look switch is broken (plastic top) so I'll need one of them also.
Thanks!
