V36 Sedan - Unable to close rear left window from driver switch

Hey guys, just found out today that from my driver side window switch I am unable to close rear left window.

All other windows works fine from switch, and even to open the window of the rear left works fine, it just doesnt close

Have attempted to do the automatic window reset technique but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Replace your switch.

Or take it apart and mess around with it. But you old make things worse.

Best to order a replacement

I had the same problem but i found a quick fix that should cost you about $20 and a little bit of time.

Go buy yourself some electrical contact cleaner in a spray can, any hardware store, car shop (repco autobarn) or even jaycar show have this.

Remove the master switch unit from the door disconnect any wires.

Spray it with the contact cleaner while flicking the switches, dont worry its non conductive and it will evaporate so it wont short any circuits in the circuit board

It should clean off any lithium based greased which is clogging up the switch.

Listen for the clicking noises when u flick the switch this means its working. Let it dry off and reinstall.
