The door lock switches, were not working in my 2015 RAM 1500 (driver's door). Did as you said, and they came to life. Thank you men.
Hey man thanks for this video. I was on vacation for 3 weeks came back and my driver side mirror wasn't working. Followed the steps on the video and wouldn't you know, it works again. Keep up the good work. You just helped someone out today
idk about everybody else but seeing you complete that brong joy to my soul!!!! god bless you bro and keep up the good work...
Thanks that was easy. Driver side white plastic saddle latch broke off. With a little supper glue, patience, and your video worked like a charm!
Glad to see some of the younger generation can do things for themselves. Great video. My 2017 has issues with auto-up some times for the driver window. Thx
there's a video on how to reset that somewhere. I had a 2016 that had the same problem. I think you hold it down for 15 seconds hold it up for 15 seconds and then it resets itself and it should work.
@@slinger3350 Thank you for the tip. My 2016 started acting up today. I tried your tip and it's working now.
I also tried your idea today and bingo it worked! Thanks for the tip
Ok I did this on my 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan and it worked for both my window not always working and my locks. Very easy! Thank you for the video!
Tried taking the switch out and reinstalling. Worked! I need to get the circuit board cleaner to take it to the next step if needed. Well filmed and explained. Thanks again.
Your welcome, glad it helped
Just wanted to chime in with a Thank you! Your video was very informative, and it worked. However when putting it back together I somehow managed to pop out the internals of the switch and had a little spring and a little plastic piece come flying out. But I kept at it and figured out how it all went back together and it's working great now. Keep up the good work. Take care.
YOU THE MAN ! Thanks buddy ! Wish I would have watched your video prior to all the time spent. Quick, Clear, & informative Video ! 🤚
Extremely helpful!!!!!! We did my 2016 Dodge Durango in 2 seconds flat!
Thanks worked well. I ordered a replacement that would not allow unlocking doors. Your clean contact process saved the oe part, although i used wd-40
Thanks. I ordered a power switch but ran into your video, opened the units up and noticed corrosion. Going to buy the other supplies and fix it myself. I’ll update. Thanks again.
So how did it go??
Awesome!
Still a good trick 5 years later. Thanks.
dude, Fantastic! Just did this to a work van, 20mins. Wish I'd known about this 5 years ago, b4 I trashed my wife's switches.
I got the whole switch on Amazon for $30 with prime
Hey man what was it called on Amazon ?
Add shipping for people without Amazon prime. $15.99 or something ridiculous. Same with Rock Auto
Excellent video. Worked 100%. Fixed the issue. Thanks a huge amount!
Great video! The only thing I would suggest is not to use dielectric grease in connectors. Use electric grease instead. Dielectric grease is used as an insulator, not ideal for metal on metal electrical connections. Use dielectric only on the porcelain part of your spark plugs to prevent carbon tracking and ease of removal of boots in the future.
I did it on my 2015 Dodge Journey, and it works!! Very simple !! Thank you
I have a 2015 and my window sounds like something may be wedged or slide down the track or something. Or is that what it sounds like when this happens?!
Awesome video bro i have almost the same switch in my town and country it looks identical and they want 180 for it new .... Totally trying to clean the connections first
Thank you very much for your video it was very easy to fallow and very helpful. I fixed my widow without a problem on my 2008 Dodge Nitro ,saved a lot of money and didn't even break a nail. Thank you once again .
Very helpful fixed it in literally a minute
Awesome
I replaced the whole thing and I still got the problem it works if I unplug the fuse and plug it back in but not for a long time
Yep. Known issue in Dodge Ram forum too. Mine has been doing it for YEARS. Replaced the entire controller several times. Works for like a week or a few days then the front windows stop working again. DEFINITELY NOT the motors. Resetting the battery works sometimes. Or a computer reset from the dealership will activate it for awhile. But the problem always returns. Haven't tried the cleaning truck yet.
Hey! Do you have a video on the rebuilding you did on the window switches mentioned at the end?
Removing one switch and installing different one (without AUTO buttons)... So, what happened to the original switch?
Damn didn’t even notice that until you mentioned it!!!! I literally had to really look for what you were talking about
Why did this work with a flawless victory?😳😳😳. Thanks so much bud
Thank you so much it worked out great, saved me money 💰 👍🏻
thank you for taking the time to post this video I really appreciate it!
Thank you. I had 2 issues, the driver door window was intermittent and passenger side door lock not working. Watched your video. The window now works but the lock still not working. Maybe a different issue. Again, thank you. Very helpful.
I have the same driver window issue and the door lock/unlock button doesn't work at all. What did yours turn out to be?
@@LowUFO Im having that same problem now, How did you fix it?
Very informative, gonna try this DIY fix on my Journey window switches that have been acting up. Thanks for posting.
Mine will go down fine but I have to fight to get it back up. So this worked for you ok?
Did you end up making Dodge window motor troubleshoot?
Thanks for the help! Wow, this was so much easier than I thought...
Worked perfectly on my Jeep Liberty 2010. Thank you!
Thanks a bunch. Saved me $50 easy.
Glad I could help!
Thank you very much, this video helped me solve my window problem!
hey i gotta tell ya this video helped me out a lot! but i got a question. my node lights were green just like all the other analog lights in the truck... now the driver side node is blue... same assembly, just took it out and blew it out... wtf
Thanks dude.
Not the same issue. But opened mine and fixed the connections instead of buying a new one
Your welcome
This video has been a lifesaver!
Gonna try this all windows roll down except driver side. If it works you might have just saved me 180 dollars was told to fix it. Thanks for the video.
Did it work? My driver side just stopped working.
@@donrobinson4180 not for me but the part was only 40 bucks and easy to put in
@@walterprice7761 what part did you need?
nice work and video. Is it still working 4 years later? 🇨🇦
Muchas gracias amigo, me sirvió para reparar el control de mi town and country 2010, que es casi igual. La ventanilla lado piloto costaba mucho subirla por un falso contacto en el control.
Sí, básicamente lo mismo. De nada
Broooo just did this to my dart and works like a charm 😎😎😎
Worked for me. I had one problem removing one screw because the screw head was covered with a sticker.
Me too!!!
Awesone. Gonna try this on my sons truck. Been having same "sometimes" issue
Thanks bro your the only one that showed actually how to do this thanks again
Your welcome
Having a similar problem on my 09 Ram. My conclusion is the copper on one of the little round pads for the door lock is pretty much all worn off. I just ordered one off ebay.
Great video. I have a 2017 Ram Big Horn 1500 and lights for the mirror adjustment on the door panel don’t light up. I bought the truck used so I don't know if they are supposed to light up or not. I saw a previous reply to a similar question regarding replacing the bulbs and you said they are in the circuit board. I went to the dealer and they said they are not supposed to light up. I can't believe they would not have them light up because you can't adjust your mirrors at night if they don't without opening the door or blindly feeling for them. The letters around the key fob insert don't light up and another switch on the dash doesn't either. Do you know the answer?
They light up lol idk who told u this but all of these master switch mods have indicator lights ( orange for mirrors) and a back light green to light the buttons when headlights are on or when car is in "on" mode ( key switched to accessories)
THANK YOU!!! Even if it is a bandaid fix which it looks like it might be for me it's perfect!
Thanks for posting this! Looks like you saved me a few hundred bucks!👍
Great video awesome tip. Just a suggestion, but try to show what you’re doing rather than you doing it. If that makes sense. Put the camera towards the device you’re working on.
2014 dodge drivers window sticks so, I'm gonna try this scared never done anything like this but, I think I can clean it... thanks for info maryanne
Where la the video that you mentioned at the end of this one where you say you let the switches fall out I did the same thing
Man you just saved me a ton of cash thanks!
This actually worked! Much appreciated
Thanks bro!! You helped me fix my door window!!!
What size did you use for your torque screws ? T?
I too was careless and bumped the inside and all the plastic pieces went flying everywhere 😞 Do you have a video or pictures or what the plastic inside the switch is SUPPOSED to look like? Thanks in advance!
Great video. But please do one to show how to get the window up when there is a broken button on the switch. My DS window button is broken and I took it apart like u did and one of the little white plastic brackets broke off. Is there something else I can use to connect w the green panel contacts and add enough pressure to get the window to work???
Thank you, for a temporary fix to JUST get the window back up you can energize the window regulator motor by using a jump pack with alligator clips and wire and connect the clips to where the plug plugs into the motor. and that should make the motor spin.
How do u reassemble the white paddles on the switch
I tipped mine upside down accidently and all.yhe plastic switch pieces came out, any schematics or videos on how to put them all back in?
Did it in 3 minutes cuz the other buttons broke in half and werent making connection...thanks man
Your welcome
I'm doing mines today
Ok buddy I give you the credit, it work perfect, thanks you save me some money😊💪
Appreciate the video. It'll help me with my dodge charger 👍
Hi, thank you f or your video. Unfortunately, I messed up my auto switch. There is a spring that came off of one of them and a tiny plastic part. Both switches (auto) are now jammed. Can you help?
Hello Syed, I just watched this video last night and followed it step by step. But the same thing happened to me with the little spring and little plastic piece. I actually had to take it apart and carefully put it back together and now it works perfectly. So the corrosion WAS the original problem which was fixed with the electrical cleaner and q-tip method. If your still having trouble with the spring and the little plastic piece let me know and I'll post a video on how to reinstall those. Good luck to you.
Does this work for just ram or any car my accord windows not working
My friend I have this code in my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2014 . The driver door switch not working even the light in the door handle even the cup holder light not working as well . All in the driver door . All this issues happens after car washing by steam. Can you give me a solution????
Man your a beauti !! Fixed my problem first try!! Thanks
Help, I have a 2002 jeep liberty sport. On my window switch(which is only the fron center for all windows) well it rolls all windows up and down except front passenger, it will roll down sometimes but won't go up. Like now its cracked open and won't go up or down. I bought a new switch and came with the pigtail, I put new switch in n still not working. Do I re wire the new pigtail of wires it came with? Or is it a bigger issue?ty
Worked for my 2016 ecodiesel🤘
This worked great, thank you so much.
My 2012 RAM driver switch will roll the driver window down but won't roll up the window I believe the switch is broke your thoughts
I have a 2014 Ram Laramie 2500 and lights for the mirror adjustment on the door panel don’t light up anymore on those switches. Did you see bulbs in there that are replaceable or is that somehow part of the circuit board?
Not quite sure the bulbs are replaceable. There attached to the circuit board I believe
thank you so much ! yea my contacts were dirty, dust from wear i reckon.
Thanks for video, only driver's door window us not working properly, will try this
I just did it and it worked. Same problem.
Beast!!! Thanks my man!
I replaced mine twice...the new switch failed after a couple of weeks both time. Not sure what the root problem is.
Thanks Bro, worked like a charm 👌🏿
Bought a new master switch for my Ml of Amazon for 8 bucks. After market but feels like the original
What about a loose panel??
PLEASE show how to reinstall the switch components if they all fall out, because mine DEFINITELY did... Thanks man
Only my front window stopped working. It went down, but won't raise up. Do you think it's the master switch?
You have to check it can u role it up from passanger side? If not maybe a fuse blew or a short in the window motor/ wiring... Gunna have to open the door up and check
I just have to make sure my car is off correct? I don't have to do anything involving the hood like removing the battery or anything?
No just have your car off, and you'll be able to disconnect and reconnect the switch with no problem.
Thank you
Well made video!
Peace be with you
Thank you
@@SteadFast2277 Everything you said worked
and my window goes up and down again.
So Thank you, you saved me a fortune
I'm glad
Good idea thanks young man
This fixed mine! Thank you
Very nice useful video .
Thank you
My passenger button broke on my master control but I can’t find the button itself anywhere
What tool did you use to unscrew the little screws? I can't find any match
I did the same thing you did know everything is loose in different directions!!
None of my windows work from master OR individually. Dealer said it was master switch, what do you think?
Ive had vehicles in the past, were the if the master switch malfunctioned the other window would have issues as well. It could be the issue
Or the main fuse that provides the power supply.
Great video .. thank you, but I tried what you did here (3 times) with no improvement. Driver's side door LOCK button not working. Ordered whole new assembly (plug & play) from Amazon today for $30. Stay tuned. 2012 Ram
So I received my new door window mirror controller from Amazon yesterday, installed it and it works great.
@@slinger3350 Do you have a link or description that you could share? Thanks!
I need help I need to put the buttons back the way they came Help me PLEASE
I had to lay mine in the unit first then place the circuit board ontop of it. Just make sure you line everything up correctly and it should screw down nicely.
What size torex
T8, I just did it and it was the one I used.
who else watching in 2021
What size torx bit is that?
T9
@@codystubbs2556 Cool thanks, yeah I only had down to T10 but I found a T8 bit and it worked great. It didn't fix my problem though, everything was clean haha
What kind of grease did you used?
$28 switch on amazon
Thank you ❤
Same issue with my 2016 rebel.. I bought it used.It worked fine out of the car lot and as soon as I got it home.It stopped working.. I was like son of a bitch....This is how this is going to be..lol
dammmm all the plastic pieces fell outtt do u have a video for that???
@Oscar Gue oh okay no thanks bro I figured that out like 2 months ago lool
Thank you so much for making this video ! Just finished doing mine and it’s been broken for like 2 months! So annoying! Did exactly what you did and the window switch is working perfectly! For some reason it didn’t fix the lock and unlock button ? Do you have any suggestions for that ? I’m just happy the windows are working again that was my main concern ! So thanks again just started subscribing to your channel too !
