Crazy Windows
Alright, for the last month or so my windows have been going nuts. Sometimes they wont roll up, sometimes they wont roll down. Sometime I have to push the down buttom for them to go up and vice versa. Recently, my drivers window has made screeching noises while going up slowly and then, as soon as I let off the button, it'll go right back down like I pushed the auto down button. I tried closing it all the way and then shutting off the car, but it would still go down with the car off. Now, the drivers side window won't go back up.
So, do I need a new regulator or a new switch? Or should I just go in and clean the switch because I'm assuming that the connections are a little messed up.

I replaced the driver side switch assembly and have not seen the problem since. Furthermore, replacing the switch assembly fixed a door lock problem I had where locking/unlocking the driver side door did nothing (all doors are supposed to lock/unlock when you operate the driver's side door with a key).
I dunno where you could get the switch, try someone parting out their max, junk yard or courtesy.
All that said, you may still need to replace the window regulator as well. It's about $50 - $65 depending on whre you get it from.
