Default Trouble with window!

I'm having trouble with my drivers side window growing up...not down. I'm order to get it to go up I have to depress the button and try to twist the button a little bit, it's like it's having trouble
Making a connection, what do i do? Should I just replace the button? And if so...how do I do that? Please help. Thank you!

I'm having the same problem. I have already taken it a part and cleaned the connection and still having issue. Thinking that replacement might be the next step, which I hope not cause if I remember, those are like 80 bucks....my truck is only and 08!

I spent 30 minutes fiddling with it last night to get it to go up... I will pay the $80If need be, is it just the switches that need to be replaced?


Btw I have a 2006 xlt

The contacts on the switch need to be cleaned. Use the search feature, there's a write up on it. Easy to fix.

I had the same problem with mine and cleaned the contacts with NO luck. Went to the dealer and got a new Drivers side switch assembly. Fixed! Done, No more headaches... Good luck

Everyone is saying "switch". Elaborate, are we talking about the up and down buttons
Themselves? Or what the buttons touch? Or the actually square piece connected to the wires.....if I went to autozone, what would I say it is to them?
