AU Fairmont Series one power windows

[last fairlane]

Hi does any one know about power windows?
My AU Fairmont series one will power down the passenger window but wont power it up unless I rock the switch a dozen or so times (the master switch) while the better half rocks the passenger door switch at the same time and the window might come up is there a relay of some sort I can check? I have taken the switches apart and scraped the "see saw" terminals to no avail Mine are the curvy illuminated type of switch
Thanks JOHN (still looking for a rear wing for a BA in Mercury silver and also 2 XF Fairmont or Ghia front door trims) for my ute
PS I swapped front to back switches but nothing thats why IM thinking relays or something

it's a common AU problem mate ... take the console appart, and clean the swutches ;)

Hi thanks I tried that and also swapped them around but still no luck My switches are on the arm rest of the door not on the console maybe Fairmont ones are in a different spot
I had a look in the wreckers and I also found there are diferent switches between models Forte ones are not the same as Fairmont ones
thanks John

when you first move the switch can you hear the window motor try to turn or not? try giving the runners a spray with silicon lubricant or similar and see if it helps
