R33 S2 Drivers Window Switch Probelm

Ive been having a problem with the switch for a while where you have to muck around a few times up and down to make it work but eventually it stopped completely so then I took the plasitc out wiggled the switches around and it worked again then now its stopped and ive looked at the relay and its not making a ticking noise but my relay is not like the standard ones that other people have shown since probably to do with the aftermarket alarm.

Anway how can I test if its the actual motor thats gone or the relay?

I had the same problem with mine... turned out to be the contacts inside the switch.

You can check operation of the switch by using a multimeter.

I had to disassemble my switch and clean up the carbon off the contacts. I also sprayed it with some silicone spray (note: not silicone sealer, but a CRC like spray).

I cleaned the contacts up with a rag initially, followed by some ~1200 grit sand paper, then the silicone spray.

I found that I had to drill two holes through the PCB to get to two of the screws hidden behind it (visible from the side, but inaccessible by screwdriver) to disassemble. No de-soldering required.

Good luck!

Cheers!
