Faulty driver side window switch.

[ev9219]

Hey guys,

 

Could someone point me in the right direction with regards to replacing the driver side electric window switch please. it appears as if the switch has come loose and there is a lot of play in the switch. It works normally when rolling the window down. However, in order to roll it up i have to apply pressure from an awkward angle.

 

Is it an easy job?

 

How much would a new switch cost?

 

Regards,

Evangel

Yep easy job, the whole panel pops off with a screw driver so you end up with something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Fabia-mk1-electric-window-switch-/360702977984?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item53fb92a7c0 . 10 mins tops.

^ That's well steep for a 2nd-hand one, considering a new one from Skoda is £34-ish

Yeah it was the first example i found of which part comes off. There are cheaper one on ebay, just had a quick look and the lowest i saw was £7.

Cheers guys, Much Appreciated.

 

Although i was thinking about buy the switch without the housing. example (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK4-BORA-SKODA-FABIA-SEAT-LEON-DRIVERS-SIDE-FRONT-ELECTRIC-WINDOW-SWITCH-/321169720051?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4ac73502f3) Pretty sure i can find a cheaper option.

 

Will this be a hassle? any obscure wires i should lookout for when removing and fitting the switch?

Just as easy, the wires are just a plug.
