If anyone has a spare driver side window control panel, I would like you PM me with prices. One of the switches on mine has died, so... I will try to fix it first, but have been wanting to install blue LED's in all switches for a long time now. So I might go ahead and do that when I replace this switch assy.

Give me a holla!!

Nevermind guys... I was able to fix the switch assy, so I will not be needing this anymore.

for the inquiring minds... The contacts were a little dirty, so I took the switch apart and took 2000 grit sand paper to the contacts. Frist tear off a really thin/narrow piece, fold it in half so that you have sandpaper on both sides, placed it between the contacts and pulled it out. For the top contacts, you have to push down the front switch and place the sandpaper between the contacts. Release the switch and pull the paper out. Repeat for the rear contacts. Of course, to clean the bottom contacts you have to place the paper between the contacts and press the switch.

Anyway... Works like a champ!
