Excellent, your video made my job a lot easier and cheaper and saved me alot of frustration, unfortunately it did not fix my problem but i did find other things wrong with the switches that would have caused me grief later on. It looks like the problem is my window regulator, you wouldn't have a video on the removal of one ?
I love a free solution to a problem. Thank you very much. All it cost me was an hour or so, as well as a little cursing and heavy breathing ;|
Someone had been there before me and broken most of the little plastic tangs on the module. The drivers switch had also been butchered so that one of the locating holes was broken. Also, one of the little white plastic legs inside that switch had been replaced with a metal one, so i might source a replacement switch if it annoys me enough
Good video, my passenger side wouldn't go up, took it apart and one of the white plastic rods that rock on the contacts was melted almost back to where it goes into the button and spring. Ended up just buying a new unit from holden... $115 :'(
@xfadetoblack Oh damn.. Guess it's too late now, but did you go to a wreckers? I'm sure you could have found a power window switch there and just taken the white rod out and put it into your switch. Heck, you might have even been able to get it from an earlier model commodore (but don't quote me on that).
@denno021 Yeah could have done a lot of things.. problem was my window was stuck all the way down and I had about 30 min before I had to leave my car out in public for ages so I just bit the bullet, at least the new one is nice and tight on all the switches. Typical spare parts guy behind the desk was trying to tell me you can't fix them despite me having it apart in front of him!
Your a legend,its good to see people take the time to help others and save them some bucks.I owe you a beer,lol.Thanks again and im off to ebay,$35 .

Thank you! I'm having the same trouble with my VZ power window switches. Only difference is my driver's window has problems going down, not up.
