Omg my husband recently passed away and being a retired old lady on a strict budget you are the best!! Thank you so much! I won't freeze or get soaked anymore! Bless you Sir!

Hey Man,

I went to the dealership to ask them to do this for me. They said they didn’t have anyone to help me. In two minutes you made it happen for me. Great job…!

Thank you so

This is genius. I spent 2 hours trying to get my window to go back up aftwr it got atuck down, after watching multiple other videos i found and nothing was working.
I found this one and poof, window up! Thank you!!

I've always felt that car manufacturers should provide a backup, where you can pop off a small plastic cover, and slip an old style window crank on to roll the windows up and down.
Then you have time to get it fixed and just pop the cover back on, and put the crank handle back in the glove box. 😉

Just want you to know there are a few of us non mechanical and electrical types who managed to grasp that by ‘manually closing the window’ you meant manually by passing the switch. Once that was pointed out to me, it suddenly became crystal clear! 🙄 Good video, well done!

Thank you for this advice. It's so refreshing when some people want to help others for the sake of helping others. Your advice is very helpful in avoiding expensive dealership service fees.

One of the rare, incredibly useful YouTube videos ... Thankyou so much 💯🔥👍

[petrawitty]

I LOVE you for making this video!! I am sitting in the parking lot at work wondering how I can get my window back up. What am I going to do when I get home to my apt with no garage to park in??? What if it rains??? Right at the beginning you point out that my passenger side has two separate controls!!! You are a genius! TY! TY! TY! You just saved this single broad ☺️

Good video. What we usually do for a quick temp solution is poppin out the switch from the other door and swapping it just to get the window into a position till we get another switch. Its abt 5 min to take both out, switch it, roll up or down then swap them back. The olds silhouette and chevy ventures are Famous for switches goin out. In fact we started getting extras from junkyard for $4 each bus 45 at autozone. They last abt as long as the new ones. Dont even matter which one, as we have 6 in the fam, ALL of them do it occasionally. Good video, same principles. Good luck everyone.

From Orlando, Florida, USA...Thank you Sir! Great job, especially with the mention/explanation of the test light rig to save the electronics.

[robertscarpati]

Great idea and procedure on how to bypass the switch. No damage can be done as you said.you either light the test light or operate the motor. Big thumbs 👍up

[conormcnamara]

well done simply explained for all us simple folk who dont want to be ripped off by main dealers 👌

[santiagoruiz]

Thank you so much!I opened the window on a hot day after a friend told me that the window does not go up.And this video saved me from looking like more of a fool.He gave me a wierd look for slamming his door hard.But hey at least the wi dow is up lol.

[michaelhedican]

Thanks for that video, On a few occasions, with a few different friend's, and myself having a switch problem, I have unplugged the switch, sprayed the male and female contacts with WD-40, and they worked once again.
Cause of the problem was rain water on the switches. Now when I get a new car with power lock and window switches, I am sure to coat them in good old Water Displacement-40 to prevent it from happening.

[shennalim]

Thanks mate! very much appreciated as the switch broke today (it's the rainy season here) and I'm the one who ferries our kids all over the place and it would have been a no-go with the window down. Cheers from the Top End of Oz.

[hibaali]

[tennithscott]

Love the calm voice and simple directions! This was the most quickest and easiest way to fix my rear passenger window in my 2015 Nissan Altima!! Worked like a charm!! Thank you so

[adibee]

This was an AWESOME DIY video; I like the simple & easy yet detailed visuals.
I also enjoyed learning about the electrical current flow and the jobs of the window components too!

[lonniemcmann]

Thanks much...Window decided to go out just before a winter storm is moving in. And your fix has work. Thanks for the advise on how to keep the snow out : )
