Hi all, my window switches i believe are acting up, I have front electric windows only, however the windows only roll down if I "full" press the switch, "half" press or first click does nothing, however the half press to bring them up works fine. The passenger side window also seems to not always go down from the drivers side and stutters from time to time going up from the switch on the passenger side. Does anyone know what this is? I'm hoping not the window regulator. And is the "half" press issue I've described normal or is there a fault in the switch?

Thanks!

I came acrooss this with a friends car it landed up he had to replace both switches but what we did first which lasted a few weeks was to get a rag and make a moat like shape around the switch in the panel and squirted WD into the rocker while preesing up and down WITH the ignition off, left it for a few minutes and cleaned the swich top up from any an excess WD and then tried the windows again, it did work straight away but only lasted a few weeks to be honest so as said replaced the switches, we also lubbed the side runner guides in the door frame inth a few sprays of GT85, can buy this in Asda halfords etc, don't use WD40 although good it will swell the seals and make is worse

Nice one mate, ill order switches for both sides then as it seems like that's the issue here, I've had thr drivers side apart and cleaned it but sadly to no real benefit so looks like it'll be new switches. From what I found it seems to be somewhat of a common fault

I had a similar problem with the drivers side switch. Replaced the switch to solve it. Worn out.
