Does anyone else with a convertible have the problem where the contacts inside the switches for the rear windows get charred so they don't work? I've had to clean both switches twice now, and it's getting annoying. Thanks.

I'm not sure if they actually got any slower before they stopped working... They just got kind of intermittent so you had to hit the switch like a million times before the window would go up. What's actually happening is some kind of crud (looks like electrical burns) accumulates on the contacts inside the switch. It's not a hard fix to just take the switches apart and clean the contacts, but you have to be careful not to break any of the plastic parts and it's annoying to pry up the panelling every couple months.
BTW, if you ask a Toyota dealer to do it for you they'll charge $85. It's faster and cheaper to do it yourself if it turns out this is your problem. Hope that helped. |
