Life sucks, and so do the power window switches in my 1997 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 two-door. I pressed the "down" section of the 6-prong illuminated beveled switch for the driver's side window and it shorted out---- tripping the circuit breaker every few seconds. I used my Bowie knife to pry the switch off the door and cut the red wire (which was hot to touch: thank Dan'l Boone I had the knife).
Damn odd thing, -NONE- of the on-line auto parts ordering catelogs show the correct switch: for example, Rock Auto shows a switch that is fundamentally different.
Now there are two switches attached to the wire harness, one for "Up" and one for "Down," since I cannot find a replacement switch.
Why does the universe hate me so?
