Power Window Issues

[Mark in Colorado]

My dealership in Colorado Springs closed down.  Nearest is over 50 miles away now.  Not hauling the pig that far for a flippin switch.  So, you win can Am…. I’ll replace it myself.  Again.

New Member, but I am too having major issues with the driver's Power Window switch on my 2020 Defender Limited. Now been to the dealer THREE  different times for the same issue and each time the mechanic says he "cleaned it and fixed the contacts " in the switch. This does NOT work for for anyone on this forum who tries it. Trying to save someone else the time and hassle of towing their machine down to the dealer for a warranty repair. Make them install a new switch!  I got so frustrated that I bought a brand-new BRP switch myself as the $30 I send was cheaper than the $4.00 gallon gas to tow it down there for the forth time. It seemed to fix the issue....at least for now.

Guys

I replaced replaced my Drivers side power window twice under warranty and now again outside warranty. I’ve cleaned  the contacts and it works for a couple of weeks the fails again usually in the upward motion. What other switches are you guys using as a substitute?? part# and manufacture if you have one.

Like TrueBlue, I'd like to know of a substitute.  As a workaround, I took the switch apart.  As the pictures show, 3 of the 4 contacts were carbonized.  I cleaned them and put it back together.  It works!

Now for my screw-ups....   

#1 - In my excitement I forgot to put some grease on them.  For now I'm going to leave it and hope it doesn't re-carbonize before a replacement is available.  On the wait-list for the part with my dealer.

#2 - There were 1 or 2 springs inside the switch when I opened it up.  If there were 2 then I can't find it the second one.  I have one spring but couldn't figure out where it goes.  I reassembled without the spring and it seems to be functioning the same as the passenger side switch.
