Window switch inop during cold weather..

[Wayne]

I live in Florida and was visiting my brother in Boone, NC last winter and it was damn cold and snowing. The left passenger back window was rolled down for some reason and would not go up without repeated attempts. The window wasn't coated with ice or snow. It has never done that before or since (back in FL).

Is this a common problem during cold weather (electric window switch malfunctioning)? What would be a proper PM for this?

First step would be to remove the master switch in the drivers door and throughly clean the contacts.

This solves most slow/sticky window problems.

Amen, I was amazed at how much corrosion and gunk builds up there. Keeping your window down on humid and rainy days for years can do that I guess...that and I am a sloppy eater/drinker of coffee.
