Intermittent Window Switch Issue (1 Viewer)

[77mustard40]

Good evening all, 97 US FZJ80 - I very occasionally have an issue where the DS window will not come up after auto down. It’s like there is no signal to the motor. If I turn the truck off and then restart it the window works fine, this happens once every 4-6 weeks on a regularly driven truck. I’ve considered replacing the switch but thought I’d ask to see if anyone else has had this issue?

I’ve read of issues with the window switches failing and brought back to life after cleaning the contact points. Your switch may be a little dirty and needs cleaning?

Could also be the motor starting to fail. Pretty easy to replace. Be sure to gently remove the plastic cover after removing the door card and reuse it. They are available from Toyota also.

Some good info in here. Looks like a Camry switch might work and is a lot cheaper. Page 2

Hi, I just solved an electric window problem on my '93 FZJ80 and thought I'd share the info here. Problem: Intermittent outage of rear electric windows on both sides. Sometimes the driver side rear window would go down but then not up at all. I would have to fiddle with both the driver...

Cleaning up the contacts is free and easy. You can get some new life into your switch. But I've had this happen on more than one window over time and it's always been the motor starting to fail.
