    Best place to buy lighted window switches?

    I'm pretty sure I need four (out of six) new window switches.

    Pelican Parts wants about 50 bucks for one switch, wtf? I know these switches going bad is pretty common, so I would rather not buy them used off ebay.

    Any other options?

      Honestly I built it just to have a place to sit and listen to Hotline Bling on repeat.

        as previously said its probably your fuse, if it is the switches buy them from a member on here parting out a car or go to your local junk yard (pick n pull) and there much cheaper, especially if you have pockets.

            I don't have a fuse that is bad. I have a four door 318.

            My front windows work.

            The back windows do not. One will go down, but not back up.

            I tried just about every option or combination today messing around with the switches, test the switches in different spots.

            The only way I can get my back windows to operate is if I take the two known good front working window switches, put one of the good ones on the back door, and then the other good one on up front. Then the back window will work fine.

            This tells me I have four bad switches :-/

            And one of my two good switches, although it works, it does not light up. So really I need five.

            Talk about bad luck, especially considering I just bought this car today.

              Can you verify the switches light up and work in both directions? How much would you want?

                Just clean them out. Soak them with WD40 and they will probably start working again.
