Had an intermittent ( 90% of the time) faulty front passenger electric window switch.

Opened the switch up, and found blackened contacts - evidence of arcing and heating. Probably some previous owners kids holding it down or flicking the switch. Here's some photos of the repair:

Pop up the cover plate with a flat blade- no screws.

Use a flat blade to pop the white tab and remove the loom, then unscrew the switch from the cover plate.

Pop the two white tabs either side to separate black from white plastic, the carefully pop up the top slider-cap to expose springs, ball bearings and copper contacts.

Cleanup the contacts with a file, sandpaper or a scraper. I didn't bother cleaning the blackened plastic. Here I'm halfway done:

Carefully place the ball bearings back, make sure they're centred, then lower the slider cover with springs down on to the ball bearings.
