My power windows are giving problems. It started after I removed the interior door panels to add sound deadening, so I can only blame myself. IMO the electrical plugs for the master power window switch and the power door locks are too fragile. The metal male/female connectors inside the plugs are made of soft metal (aluminum, maybe?) and they can't withstand multiple unplugging and re-installation cycles.
I know, I know. I shouldn't be unplugging the connectors too often but it an effort to make the windows operate correctly....
So, sometimes 3 of the power windows work but more often they don't. The driver's side rear window never works. My guess is the problem lies in the driver's door master switch. I think the connections should be tighter but I don't know how to do it. The tiny male/female connectors are impossible to pinch with pliers.
Would dielectric grease help? Should I try to bend the male pins ever so slightly to create more friction against the female connector?.. that could be risky. Any ideas?
