The switch on the front door panel opening/closing the right rear electric window is not working. New switch from Nissan is R6000. The window does open fine with the switch on the right rear door, so the problem should be with the front door switch.
Patrol GRX 4.8 (Y61) 2005. Any ideas for replacement?

Re: Front door electric window switches.
Yep! I also had issues with the right rear window, got a 2nd-hand switch from David Volschenk for much less.
David is on the forum. Send him a private message here, or WhatsApp him because his reception is not perfect where he lives.
PS: You can take the other door switches apart and service them if you're handy, but the driver's switch is soldered together and will self-destruct if you try and fix it.

Re: Front door electric window switches.
Ant opens them up, cleans them and re-greases them.
It's not difficult except that the plastic is quite brittle. Apparently he heats it with a hair dryer to soften them up a little.

Re: Front door electric window switches.
Unfortunately I am not as handy as many of these guys so I got a few at Dawid Volskenk over the past four years

Life's a journey, enjoy the ride!!!

Re: Front door electric window switches.
Thank you for the interest and advice. For now, it fixed itself. Started working again. Make me think of the days when I could only afford ex army Land Rovers from the auctions. Those Lucas electrical systems kept you busy and sometimes fixed themselves ……. for a while.
