window switch question

Are you able to change one switch or do you need to replace the whole panel? The back in pictures looks like it is sealed. Im not home but think I need a switch replaced and was wondering. Thanks Jim

One Circuit Board - Just clean the contacts!

The switch panel is one circuit board with the toggles mounted onto the face. The whole assembly just pops apart. I had a problem with both my window switches being erratic. I took my switch panel apart, cleaned all the contacts and reassembled it. It has work perfectly since. (almost a year now) Here are some pictures on how to take it apart.



Careful not to break the tabs













Clean the black contacts and the mating contacts on the circuit board and reassemble. Everything just snaps back together.
