Thread: bad window switch help (GTP)

No problem, glad it worked. That's how I had to roll up my window for over a year before I saw that write up lol.

I cant try this until later this afternoon, but I'm sure it will work.

I pulled the information for mine right out of the GM SI service manual. You didn't post the year of your son's GTP, so I had to guess and went with 2001. I don't know if there were differences over the years.

It might've been the fact that your son's is a two-door and the connector I found was one of two for a four-door switch.

ahh I see, but yeah it should work, just be careful the paper clip doesn't slip or else it will spark. It doesn't short anything it but it stings your hand a little

Hmmm, I'll let my son roll up his own window then

Thanks again guys. The writeup worked like a charm. Even the switch with the worn down tip works. We will just hold on to the new one until the "repaired" switch dies again.

fwiw, after looking at the switch up close I can see why pushing on the lower left corner should raise the window, however, I couldn't get it to work. To me it looks like you would have to push up on the rocker so the upper right corner breaks contact like it does during normal operation while using the paper clip method on the lower left. It's either that or the lower left contact was so dirty, it wasn't making a good electrical connection. IDK.

However thanks again guys everything was good info.
