GM/Cadillac power window help

[phragle]

I have a 97 SLS, the power window switch for the drivers window is not happy, it rolls down but doesn't like to roll up. if I open the door and beat on the panel a couple time it does go up.. so Im thinking it's dirty/corroded. Can I spray contact cleaner around the button and let it seep down?? could that possibly help?? would it eat up the plastic?? any ideas???

Does the switch feel different than it used to? Kinda sounds like a motor issue

 

[phragle]

def. the switch..pulled it out today, dissected it... banged on it, banged on it a little harder and got the window to go up, if I dissect it again and spray it with contact cleaner you think i would help?? or would it eat the plastic up?? you wouldn't have the schematics for it would you??

 

[inbetween]

If you can get to the contacts, sand paper will work ok to clean them. lightly. contact cleaner may damage the plastic. some of the cleaners make the plastic super brittle or discolor the parts. I can email schematics if you want

 

[phragle]

the schematics would be sweet... no way to get to the contacts...its like a basketweave of contacts...weirdest thing I have ever seen... no wonder it costs so damn much to build a car....they have engineered 75 cents wrth of basic switches into a 250 dollar electronic disasterpiece..

Email is robsvatora@hotmail.com

window switches are always available on ebay motors.

there are original and aftermarket, just be sure and check seller rep and freight cost

If you wouldnt keep leaving the window down, the switch wouldnt be full of water and giving you trouble:reddevil::rofl:
