The first step to repairing a power window switch is to make sure it is the switch that is at fault. While the switch is the most likely culprit, it is not the only component that can go bad in the power window circuit. Power windows that go up or down with the flip of a switch are great conveniences for almost any driver to have on their cars, but they can become a mighty inconvenience when something goes wrong and the windows will not budge. When power windows stop working, there may be a variety of culprits at the root of the problem, one of which is a faulty power window motor. With so many power car windows, there are bound to be mechanical failures. While time consuming, repairing electric windows is well within the ability of a backyard mechanic, once the problem is narrowed down.
