So, my Driver's window switch isn't working properly. It will roll down the 2 rear windows, but the 2 front windows...Nothing. The passenger switch works fine and if I put passenger switch on drivers side it will roll window down. I took switch apart and cleaned the switch housing, the pad, plungers and all the contacts. That didn't work. Any ideas?

+1 to what @intheburbs said. Super easy to replace but you'll need a Tech 2 to program the new one to your truck.

He can also roll the dice and try to find a used switch from a a similarly equipped truck and it could plug and play without the programming. I was able to do this finding one on eBay.

My drivers side switch will operate all windows accept for driver window. If I put passengers switch on drivers side it will work. Do I have to replace the whole unit? They are ridiculously expensive. At least 100 bucks.

Are you sure it's not the regulator?
