Power windows are the only way to go,especially when you need to roll down the passenger window while sitting in the driver's seat or roll all the windows up because it's starting to rain. In fact,the only time power windows don't rock,is when one doesn't work.

Power Window switch are actually pretty simple animals made up of four main elements;the Mirror Switch,the window regulator,the assembly that holds the window,and the control switch. When you activate the switch,an electrical current goes to the motor pushing the window up or down in correlation with the direction of the switch.

Before assuming that the Power Window switch must be replaced you should first rule out the possibility of dirty electrical contacts. On most cars the main power for all switches goes through the master switch located at the driver's console. Sometimes the switch is dirty causing the window to malfunction. If this is the case,take the necessary steps to clean the contact and your problem should be resolved.

Should you determine that the contacts are clean and your switch is functioning, then it is likely that the motor has burned out and is in need of replacing. Whether you are installing a Honda window regulator or a Volkswagen window regulator,or a regulator for any other make the steps involved in replacing a window regulator are usually quite similar.

Make it a point that the window switch works efficiently. If dirt penetrates along the gears and other components,chances are,the power window switch will malfunction.
