Mazda 3 power window switch fix

This is for anyone that has verified that the problem is in their switch. This will not fix a bad motor or window assembly. Performed on my 2007 Mazda 3.

This video was a huge help, thank you. My driver's side window was working sporadically... in my case, the two little white plastic pieces you see in your right hand at 2:43 fell out and were just sitting in the plastic assembly. All I had to do was re-insert them and re-assemble. No cleaning or scrubbing. The window works like new now.

Thank you too for mentioning that it's a T6 torque head bit.

I was able to get the passenger roll-down from the driver's controls (always worked ok on the passenger door switch) with the tools I already had on hand with this video.

Thank you so much!

I took it apart, as explained in the video, cleaned the switch contacts with sandpaper and it fixed the problem. Saved myself $250 buying a new one. Thanks for your help!

Vouch - worked very well; thought it was a bad motor, fuses, list goes on. Unbelievable this was the source:
- windows go down / wouldn't go up
- seemed like a dead motor
- this resolved all 4 windows

One of my switches wasn't working at all so I did this (to both contacts) and now it works like new!! Thanks man!!!!

Thank you so much for the excellent video. It worked perfectly. Had been driving for a year without being able to put my driver window down because it wouldn't come back up. Now it works perfectly. Thank you so much. 5 stars

Worked for me too. I wasn't sure I could pop that last black plastic cover off of the individual switch itself. Thanks for convincing me it just needed a little more aggressive prying.

Was having issue from main control, would go down but not up....so used the cleaner and works perfect! It was a little bit of a pain to remove the square black covers for each switch....but it works! I'm going to do the same for all other 3 switches! Thank u so much for this video....total cost $5 for the cleaner : )

Such stuff are so helpful bro. we tend to spend money on some old things that needs small tlc. Just opened mine and was doing the small scratch thing like you and I came here to check that I was doing something someone might know about more. Glad yours worked. Will let you know how it goes shortly. Thanks for helping others buddy

Worked like a champ. Thanks! The hardest part was getting the black cover off the switch to get to the contact points.

Just did this for my 2011 Mazda 3 it works like a charm now. Thanks!

Jacob, I did just like you showed and it fixed my problem as well. Thanks for the tutorial!

[jtetley]

Thanks for the video. Saved me money! Worked perfectly on my drivers side window that wldnt go up on my 04 Mazda 3.

My Mazda3 had a problem with the drivers window switch, which is completely different to the other 3 switches, because of the 'Auto' function. The drivers window switch has 4 nylon posts that push upon a silicon plate with 5 tiny copper contact points. One of the points had almost no copper left on it. I've taken it apart, cleaned it all with a can of compressed air and electronic contact spray. Fingers crossed that its fixed, I'm yet to reinstall it. My mechanic told me I needed a new assembly and referred me to a company that wants almost $600au for the part lol. Ive seen the same part from online sellers, brand new but aftermarket, for $60au. Goes to show how some mechanics and dealerships RIP people off!

You're my hero. Was about to dump $50 in a used one!

[erynmeloche]
