Default window switch

I have an 02 vert, and my passager window switch is dead........anybody else have this problem? is it common? I can change out the switch for 75.00, but don't want to just start changing out parts.....
How would I trouble shoot this?
Thanks for any info...

I have yet to see a bad switch so look further before you buy one.

Thanks for your reply bakersville......
The damnest thing, just went out and when I got in the car, the window worked.....

When it didn't, the whole switch was dead, as in no back light, or anything working.....would that be a relay?? Even when the doorlocks were out too..??

Thanks for your help...

Check the connector at the back of the switch. pry the switch out from the top.

And, check the wiring inside the rubber boot at the door hinge. It is all explained in the link I gave you. Clean every connector and even if it looks clean, spray it anyway with some contact cleaner and then reconnect it.

Sorry, I didn't even check the link B... I would think that without lights or anything it would be the connector at the back of the switch...

I'm bowing out, you're in excellent hands!
