Plug fell apart while sound deadening passenger door
Could have sworn I was delicate enough taking them out and such that they were fine, but when I went to plug this switch back in, it kind of crumbled in my hand and pieces started falling off. I think that only 2 small metal *****, and 2 copper plates fell out, along with a spring. So i think I have all the pieces to this, and I don''t know if it necessarily broke, anyone recommend me what to do?
Btw, the passenger window doesn't go up from the driver's control either so I need to fix asap.
Here are some pictures...one of the little metal ***** isn't included in the picture of stuff that fell off, but I still have it.
Picture of the cap that fell off the exposed top, along with the parts that fell off inside:

its the power windows switch
its the most deilcate switch i've come across, the driver's door switches are pretty sturdy, almost sprayed one with some spray adhesive though haha.
nsnrider, how did you come across a switch like that? i might have to consider your offer, but first I think I should visit the dealer tomorrow. ill send you a pm

+1 to those things sucking. After my LED conversion, I lost the bearings/metal ***** from one of the switches. I had to order a new one, and take them out of that, so I didn't have to redo the LED.

I had no problem putting mine back together. But by your picture you're missing 1 spring and 1 ball bearing. How the hell did you do that anyway?? You'd have to have taken off the black switch housing to get to that part. And the housing doesn't come off easily. Any who, if you do have all the parts its kind of frustrating. I just recently changed all my LEDs so I'm used to putting them back together. It just takes a little finese. Good luck.

well I stated that one ball bearing is in my door pocket of which my fingertips can't grasp, gonna use a magnet...and I witnessed the spring fall out when I kind of dropped that little white plastic cap...so I think only 1 spring came out. I can kind of see how the ***** and copper plates go on, but no idea where the spring came from...
Btw, there was no black housing? unless your talking about the actual switch that sits in the door trim...which I wasn't working with, I was working with the door panel off...

right. I understand you were working with the door panel out. But I'm sure you'd find it MUCH easier to actually take the switch out instead of taking that piece out of the switch. or better yet. Just disconnecting the wiring. That aside.
You'll find that the springs actually fit inside the "white plastic cap". When you place the cap onto the main piece. The springs should be pushing down on the ball bearings. Which should be placed in the middle on top of the copper pieces. If I'm not doing a good enough job explaining I might be persuaded to go out and disassemble mine to take pics for you.

Don't worry about it, although i'm glad your willing to do it, might be useful for future owners who it happens to as well....but I went to the dealer today, gave me a new one for 35$ altogether, not gonna worry about a few extra dollars because I got it working again within 10 minutes, made my day. Thanks for the help everyone.
Future reference to people who get in the same situation:
Ask darktide how to put it together,
Buy 1 from nsnrider,
Buy one from dealership.
