Fix for power switch This worked for my 2001 Olds Silhouette.. and I’m guessing it may work for the Chevy Venture as well. 03 Monte Carlo.

Youre welcomed!
nice vid dude, thanks for making/sharing!
Thanks for the video, worked like a charm on my 99 silhouette.
hey after going thru muddy junk yard i pulled out the phone and use the handy voice search from google on my galaxy i just said 2001 olds silhouette power windows switch fix and it went straight to youtube to your video, watched and i was as happy as a pig in mud…thanx for the DIY video…. mine didn’t have the same issue as your my contacts was all chard…got my pocket blade scrape off the burnt shit and it was back working…thanx again for saving some money.
Thanks!!! It worked for me but had to take it apart twice didn’t put enough paper and it helps if you clean it too…
Thanks for the video. I just fixed my driver side window. My turned out to be the rocker metal piece and the contact was black from old grease and dirty.
Thanks worked for my 2000 grand prix
good
Dude! You just saved me 130 bucks, i owe you a beer!
Thanks this video saved me.
great vid! this worked on my 2001 pontiac grand prix. made my day.
You are my Angel today. I raised my window down to my 2001 Silhouette and I could not get it back up. I searched and searched and found this video. I watched it and I was like I am a female forget this I can’t do this. After trying different things for hours I came back to your video and did everything step by step and It worked thank you so muich and God Bless You. Tomorrow is Christmas and I was just so down about my window being down in this 14 degrees weather. Thank you so much!
this worked for me and I have a Silhouette 2002…thank you very much !~
my passeng window wont go down
Excellent!! Im guessing that the switch unit may be a common one used on many Chevy vehicles..
Im glad this worked for you 🙂
This also worked on my 03 monte carlo. Thanks for the great video.
Im glad I was able to help a little. Im glad you had the confidence to give it a try 🙂
oh yeah i had to bend the metal a little more too so it would get a good contact.. after pulling it apart about 5 times to make sure it was 100% good..
Thank you SOOO much for this video!!!! mine wasn’t the little plastic pieces it actually had a bunch of gunk under the metal pieces so the metal wasn’t getting a good contact! cleaned that out and boom driver side is now working! I have to make sure the wires were not messed up by checking the continuity first though cause it could be more then just this in my montana minivan.
i did not sleep till now and it is 6 am finally i fixed it it was lumina though with same concept but i had very hard time taking of the buttons out and broke one i will try it when i wake up, thanks a lot.
$40 bucks!! Nice! Now do your part and make a video of you doing a fix! 🙂
Nice work!! Im glad it all worked out!
Love to hear about your success!! Glad to help!
Nice! you just saved me over 40 bucks! GOOD MAN, GOOOOOD MAN!!!!
Thanks a lot man, really helped!
OMG!!! I called the Chevy parts department and to replace my switch was 100.00, and then I watched this video and it worked… YOUR AWESOME! This worked for my 2005 Chevy Malibu LS. Same type of switch and same problem, window would go down but wouldn’t come up! Thanks!!!
Man you saved me tons of cash! My daughter’s 960 Volvo driver’s window would not go up. The good folks as Volvo would charge me more than the car’s worth to fix it so, after your video, I dove in. The internal switch was different than your video. It used two springs, riding on two small bearings, contacting a copper plate. Under the plate were the contact which were full of crud. I cleaned them off, removed the oxidation and all is well. THANKS AGAIN!!!
Hi there. Im not sure.. but before you spend a ton of cash its worth a try pull the part out yourself and give it a try. The worst thing that can happen is you break an already broken part LOL 🙂
So glad it worked out for you!! Post your own video sometime after youve fixed something 🙂 Add to the Youtube Library! 🙂
Can it work for all cars? like a nissan sentra?
actually it was really easy. i slided a MOIST (allmost dry) paper towel under the button and it works just fine
Yes, take the switch apart and try to understand the mechanics. It may be a simple fix like mine. If its not a simple fix then you may need to buy a new part. At least if you tear it apart you will learn int he process. make your own video while doing it, teach the rest of us :)
Yeah! Im glad it worked out for you! 🙂
Excellent! Im so glad it worked out for you. It takes a little work..and, sure, there is a chance that it might not work, but it worked out well this time and saved you some cash 🙂
HEY HEY!
Thank you for posting this video. I had my car at the garage for some other work and was told it was 250 for the replacement switches. It took me 30 mins max and a little piece of paper to do it with your video.
Thanks again.
Dude, You just save me some Cash!!! I did this in 30 mins and now my window is working, My Hero!!!
this was very helpfull. how do i do it if my buttons dont pull up like yours. i have a 2001 mustang and they just push down
