driver side pax window switch inoperable.

Wondering if anyone knows a fix for a driver side window switch that won't operate the pax side window? Pax side window switch works as it should. Thanks!

The way that system works, the slave switch has its own power but gets its ground through a "default" switch throw in the master switch. That allows the two switches to coexist without shorting one another. What it means is, the master switch ground is good and power to the window is good. So the only thing left is a bad "active" throw in the master, i.e., bad contacts. The construction of some of those old switches allows disassembly and cleaning, so if the contacts are just dirty or have lost spring tension, it might be fixable.

Great, thanks I'll have a look.
