1995 driver side window button repair

Notes:

The power window wiring for the 1995 240sx is unique. It does however have the same amp as the 91-94 240sx. The 96-98 does not have the button problem and does not have the amp.

"It's long been known that the AUTO switch breaks and locks in the down position, keeping current on the motor. That's why the amp, switch, or motor burns up on virtually every '95 model and why it was redesigned in '96. You can easily tell if the switch is bad by just actuating it, if it feels sloppy or loose then it's broken. You can continue using it as long as you remember to pull back up on it once it's rolled down. Or you can replace it with a 96-98 switch assembly and door harness and repin the security portion of the '95 model door harness in.

The S13 motor does not swap over, but a Z32 motor does. Try finding one of those, they're easier to come by."
