Wife had told me, deep in the recesses of my mind, that the front driver door window switch was intermittent. I ignored it until this morning when, in minus 8 F weather, I rolled the window down at a Mickie D's drive through only to find it would not go back up. Wonderful: frostbite in sixty seconds of driving. I made it the mile back home, pried loose the switch carrier and raised it up, pulled the wire out and connected it to a new switch. It worked: the window raised, giving me some time to get me and the plastic warm so I could repair the carrier with a new switch. My hands were about a minute from frostbite.

From now on, I am going to carry a working, used switch in the car so I can do this swap on an emergency basis. The window ALWAYS fails at the worst possible time: freezing cold or pouring rain. It's easy to pry up the carrier and connect a temporary switch, giving you a closed car until you can get it home and repair at your leisure.
