'99 Intrepid pwr window controls

Yea, replace the switch!! Alot of times that switch goes bad if the window is down and it gets wet from rain or whatever. If you can make it work by playing with the button, its bad, nothing to do with a connection problem.

I will just add that it appears to be a very common problem in the LH cars based on my own '99 doing it and reading a couple of LH-specific forums on a regular basis. One guy over on

always responds to similar inquiries to spray contact cleaner into the switch assy. from above, and more often than not, the OP posts back saying that did the trick. Here's a recent example of just that: I would be more inclined to try contact cleaner than replace the switch because: (1) It's cheaper, and (2) The chances of a new switch having or soon developing the same problem is fairly high so you likely could spend money to gain little or nothing over the long term.

You're not telling me anything - I own a 'i99 Concorde. I called it a switch assembly. Anybody who has the car knows what i was talking about. I did say try contact cleaner befiore replacing the switch - so you're technically right. I was using shorthand assuming that replacing the switch assy. (OK - the "door module") would replace the switch - which it would.

BTW - Glenn referred to it as a switch too!!! Nanny nanny boo boo! :)

The shop manual calls it a switch.... WINDOW SWITCH For switch testing, remove the switch from its mounting, refer to Switch Removal

The parts listing shows it as a switch (window lift 5 gang switch 4760191AC)

If I need to discuss this part with a customer, to me its a switch also, ......Therefore its a switch!!

So - what you're saying is: IT'S A FREAKIN' SWITCH! :)

Give the man an "A+"

I tried the contact cleaner but it didn't work. I disassembled the switch and found that the contact points were cluttered with "crap" from making numerous electrical contacts. Filed them all down to a clean smooth surface and the "switch" now works fine.
