Help! How do I get to the 200SX power window switch?

WRXrob · Nov 17th, 2003, 10:32 AM

My drivers side master power window switch is sticking in the "auto-down" position, causing the window to automatically roll itself down, even if I roll it back up. I believe I need to replace the switch. How do I get to it? Do I have to remove the door panel? How do I do that?

There is 1 phillips screw in the part where you stick your hand in to close
the door. Take that out and you will see the assembly.

Thanks 9double8. I pulled the part, and lost a piece to my cordless screwdriver in the door panel. Oh well, I can get another one of those. Now if I can only actually find a window switch somewhere.

Taking off that door panel isn't hard at all either. It's just a matter of unscrewing a few things and lifting the entire trim panel up and out.

I had the same problem, they only cost about 7-8 bucks at the dealer. Easy install.

I was quoted over $80 for the drivers side window switch

. The passenger side window switch is about $8 though. I'll be buying one of those too. It sounds like this is a common problem on a rather rare car.

it's also based on how often they get wet or worn down, not really a manufacturer defect.

done and fixed.

picked up the master drivers power window switch from Carmax Nissan in White Marsh, MD. $88. They had 3 in stock while everywhere else quoted me anything from $96 to $125, and had to special order.

If I wanted to special order I would have went to http://www.everythingnissan.com which had it for $72 shipped.

surprisingly though, the passenger switch was $28 at carmax. I need one of those too, as that has been broke for a long time. I think the local dealers will have that for under $20, and I think its less than $10 on the site above.
