Windows were down when it rained last night

[BBQ BOY]

I left all 4 windows down almost half way when it rained. The sunroof was open too but it works. The drivers window switch works but I can not control the rest of the windows from the drivers door. The only way I was able to get the other windows up was from each door switch.
So, I am thinking that the drivers door module needs to be dried out? Maybe take it off and put it in a bowl of rice or grits.

BBQ- let me know what you find. I have the exact same problem with my master switch.

 

[BBQ BOY]

right now i have the switch panel sitting in a sealed container with rice.

Good luck. I've dried mine but no change in performance.

Totally sucks. On a lighter note all I can picture is Joe Pesci from My Cousin Vinny and would like to add that I am glad that no one has asked what a grit is.

I hate to admit it, but I've done that before. Wasn't with the LC, but a Z71 Tahoe. Everything worked fine once it dried out except my heated seats would turn on and off by themselves every so often. (the heated seat buttons were right next to the door lock switch). It took longer to dry out and work again than I would have expected.

Keep us updated and good luck!

Anyone know where I can find the part? Very curious how much it is going to cost.

Tough to get a new master door lock switch for under $450. Used they range from $100-300.

OMG!!!!

You can pull the switch apart and rebuild it. not too difficult.

 

[lexi4darin]

Farinvail - I'm confused as to what you mean? The LX switch isn't a type thats rebuildable if it fails from moisture. Almost a certainty that the moisture ruined the electronic cOmponents in the switch not the plastics pieces that make up the mechanism of the button/switch. Not sure building up the circuit board is all that easy. Unless you know a guy and you've been holding out on us.

 

[BBQ BOY]

Well, I m guessing the rice trick worked. I decided to give it a whirl many hours too early and it now works.

50 cents of rice instead of a $450 part......... Gotta love that!
