[Mk2] [Generic] Electric window switch assembly (drivers side)

Post by tiff_lee »

I was having some snags with my drivers window going up/down which was clearly related to the switch assembly so I took it apart to have a good look.

As you can see it's a bit of a state. For some reason there is no relays in the electric window control circuit and all current flows through those contacts hence the state of them, I cleaned the contacts up refitted and was all good. However given the amount of wear on the contact pads I ordered a new switch assembly (from aliexpress) and upon taking a look inside it is a much more modern design and incorporates 2 relays inside the assembly.

The only drawback is I have lost the backlight/led for the passenger window and door lock mechanism but with a little modding that should be easy enough to sort out.
