Need Help W/Window Switch Replacement My window switches both just stopped working pretty suddenly. I ordered new drivers side and passanger side switches. How hard are these to change?
Example of the problem: You can put down the passanger window with only the passanger switch, but only put it up with the drivers side switch. But lately niether one of the have been wanting to move. do you think it is really just a switch problem or a motoro problem too?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Not moving at all, that usually indicates the power window motor is going. A good chance of the time, it's the motor taking a crap. Get a Siemens motor and you should be square.
But if you get lucky, it *could* be the switches. Really easy to change. Just pop the whole thing out of the door. It prys up out of the armrest. No bolts or anything. Clipped in. On the drivers side there is 3 harnesses, 1 for power locks and 1 for each window. Just unplug it and drop the switch out. Same for passenger side except obviously there are only 2. Locks and passenger window. Good luck.

Just replaced my passenger side motor - wouldn't work anymore with either switch. After I got it in now it only works with the passenger side switch. 
Just bought a drivers side module but haven't put it in yet. Easy to replace, just remove the switch panel, unplug and pry it out, then snap in the new modules.
