Power Window Switch

[fitz_vt]

Hey guys
i was driving to a mates house today and wound down my power window in my passenger side front , it went down but not back up. after much investigation i found that the switch has little plastic spring loaded lever type rods.
one of these little plastic type rods has melted at the end (it had shorted because of gunk.....

Can i get a new one of these switches (just the switch) or do you i have to go and pay holden $160 for a new one.....?!?
anyone that does blue LED conversions will know what i am talking about.....

Thats actually a common thing ive seen happening in cars ive done but not all do it, id go 2 a wrecker or even ebay, they dont need 2 b new but if u find a broken 1 pull it appart and take the plastic pins from them. Even the pins from the rear switches fit.

I had the same trouble with a vt I bought.. some of the switches were dicky....one had the same problem as yours..the plastic finger was melted...wasnt contacting the rocker..
I just made a new one out of a plastic masonry plug...thats all I had lyin around..lol filed it down to shape.. worked a treat...
replaced a bulb in another switch.. Voila.!

ive used electrical spray on the dodgy switches and they work after that so i would try a cheap way 1st
