If your power window switch won't always work, and requires a few presses before it actually works, then watch the video I made on how to fix that problem up.

It's pretty easy to follow, I shall all steps from taking the bottom part of the dash out, to taking the power window controls apart, and finishing by testing the switch after done work.


Hope someone can find some use with this.

Mine weren't melted mate, so I never had to replace them.. But I'm sure nearly all commodores will have the same type of pin in their power window switches, just go and pinch a few from any commo at a upullit or something. And by pinch, I mean buy :) haha
