No f'n way I would support you buying new parts for these section. You probably can buy a whole freakn door from the junkyard or atleast the panel.

It just doesn't make sense...even if you like to burn money for fun.

Hi,
In response to JCAT GS3, the $440.00 price WAS for the SWITCH ONLY, with no labor included. I always do it myself. I still think that is a ridiculous price for one switch assembly. SAKATAJ, you win the prize my friend for ECU for that navigation system.

I always call parts only. Luckily I have not had to use service for anything on this car yet. I thank all of you for your comments. That response with the parts numbers was awesome.

I looked at EBAY last night, and the switch they had was indeed black, and they wanted $120.00 for it. It looked NASTY, as though it had been exposed to the elements. I would have to clean that part for awhile before I would put that in my car.

I guess I'll check Craigslist, or break down and buy a new one at a discounted price.

My driver window switch just went out from too much Texas heat. The auto all the way part works, but the part way part doesnt. I know its the switch lever or the pivot cause I can jiggle it and get it to work. The part price is bad enough, but has anyone done the full replacement? How bad is it, removing the door panel, switch module, etc.
