Had an idea today, anyone know if putting a small capacitor across the final teminals of each of the switches will extend the life of the switch?
I think it will stop arc'ing of the contacts
Come on all you guys out there with broken/spare switches, i need your parts, PM me for info about payments, without parts i cant do this, so everyone losses out.
Cheers JET
apparently someone on this site made up a whole new wiring loom for his power windows and they went up and down a sh!te load quicker... just a thought.
also i have a spare centre console switch panel JET with the passenger side switch fcuked
All/nearly all centre console switches have burnt and very badly corroded contacts, they need to be pulled apart and cleaned/repleced(if very bad), and in some cases the contacts in the housing are worn that bad the switch is a throw out item!!!!!!
just got my switches back today..and i must say...
JET-6 Has done an excellent job....
I recommend that if you got fu<ked switches goin on...give him a holla...he does a great job...i can tell he put a lot of effort into my switches...
thnx matt

No worries at all Justin, i take the same care with other ppls stuff as i do with my JET, and i know most of you have seen my car by now!!!!!
I hopefully have a few more parts on the way so im doin them as we speak
That particular person who rebuilt thier power window loom would be me. The wires from where the doors bend, over time fray inside and the current draw on a thin strand is too much. It took me a few days but i used ultra flexible silicone wire to do the job. Wont ever break again as this is the stuff i use to use on my radio controlled cars.
i will probably get you to do mine after xmas some time if your still doing them. you should probably start doing new wire looms for the windows too if you did i would probably take one of them as well.
I am doing heap of switches atm, i wont be stopping, but i do need old busted one for parts(Cash Paid), so if you see any at wreckers cheap contact me on [phone removed], and tell me the price and you can grab it for me and ill dd you the cash!!!!

Hey Jet-6 the up button on my front passenger window doesnt work and from time to time the up button on the drivers side doesnt work i just wanted to see if i can send it to ya and you can fix it for me
thanks
I have noticed that the centre power window switch on the VY Commodores is almost the same size as the VB-VL power window switch.
I dont know if the wiring on the VY switch could be adapted to the VL loom but for those that need one it might be worth a try.
Does anyone know the price of the VY switch?
