    I figured out the issue I was having with my read 2 windows that would not work. Switches in the rear and the master driver switch would not work.
    I pulled the door panels....checked for voltage and it all looked fine. Swap the left and right switches and now they go down but not back up...
    Knew it had to be something mechanical
    Disassembled the switches and cleaned all the contacts.
    Now all switches work even the master.
    I had to video and share....

    Nice! I love it when you can figure out a fix for nothing but the cost of your time.

    Dont Use a dremil on these contacts again. Use the eraser on the back of a pencil to clean electrical contacts.

    Good idea with the eraser....only used a nylon brush wheel on the dremel might.be a bit more aggressive than eraser.

    I read that. You obviously have the skills to pay the bills or you wouldn't have troubleshot the problem. Others reading your post... I'm not so sure about... Likely to think nylon good wire better... NOT SO! I did electronics for 20 years on jets for the NAVY. Rule of thumb least abrasive method possible. We literally had erasers in our corrosion prevent kits.
