My passenger side window stopped working. i checked the wiring and the motor, all is fine. This leads me to believe that it is the power window switch in the centre console. I am now looking to replace the switch does anyone know where i could get this part?

Thanks,
Andrew

If you are having problems with the window switch I would try to remove and the switch take it apart and clean all of the terminals and connections in the switch.

It is not a simple switch however but if you use a contact cleaner and perhaps a bit of sand paper you might have success.

I have had the issue with a couple of vans and replaced the winder motor and it was not the problem.

I cleaned the switch and it worked.

I had to take the switch apart and clean it a couple of times to get it to work but it has worker ever since.

Let me know if it is a fix.

Good luck.
PS disconnect the power or remove the switch

we are able to fix that easily.

try just to clean it & you will be find. its common problem. it maybe just dirty.
try to get a lubricant for electrical not WD40

Here is my easy step by step on how to clean the switch, it often fixes it. And one gets a tremendous feeling of pride and accomplishment, with no skill or special tools involved.

Steps: Take the keys out of the ignition for safety. Memorize which way "up" the switch sits, so you can put it back together correctly after. Take a very thin knife (the thin blade kitchen paring knife is good), slide it under the edges of the entire switch cover and gently pry it out, it is not glued down, merely a tight fit but it will have years of food and crud kinda gluing it down. Now you have it in your hand. You can pull off the little connector wires very gently, leaving you the switch in your hand, take it into the house and use a nice bright light to admire the engineering and see the dirt. Do NOT use WD40, go buy a spray can of "electrical contact cleaner", and spray and wipe, repeat the spray and wipe, until clean, using lint free cloth and toothpicks. Also clean the little contacts on the ends of the wires in the delica (toothpick works). Admire it so clean and shiny, feel the pride. Now plug the wires back in (of course you noted which way "up" it was before you unplugged them) drop it into its slot. Now turn the key in the ignition, Now watch the windows go up and down ... and note the window even stops moving when you take your finger off the switch as the gummy food crumbs often caused the switch to stick. Enjoy.

Maybe we should do a group switch cleaning on the next mini-meet?
