Drivers side window switch - DIY repair?

[pocketrocket786]

I have managed to get myself a new Drivers side window switch as my one was a bit dodgy - had to press down really hard for it to do anything for the drivers side window, passenger side switch was perfect.

I now want to repair the switch I took out (either to keep as a backup or sell), question is though is it repairable? I notice now the switch is out that there are two seperate black modules - one for each side, does anyone know if these pop out, they look as if they do but I cant get it out for the life of me

Also if they do pop out, are these available from VW to order - i think replacing the drivers module may to the trick.

Yeah they come out mate but are the worst thing to do ever lol.

Ya need to get a thin bit of metal in-between either side of each switch and push down from the top....

But ya can't repair them mate i tried and the parts where out at the connector

Will work wen u replace them both mate.

You can repair them, they are just bloody fiddle to take apart.

Bit of contact cleaner and a cotton bud once its apart over all the contacts will work wonders.

For nine quid each there's just no reason to repair em I took it apart to see n the connectors were shot so just get new ones lol.

They're more than that now - more like £15 quid each.

Gone up in 4 weeks then or I might have got em trade actually thinking bout it....

Got a mate whose having a look at them now for me, hes pretty good with electronic components etc so he will probably be able to get it apart.

Not that it was overly needed but ordered a load of bits, and that got ordered amongst my stuff.
