I might need a new window switch for my '89 Formula. My Passanger Side window has been going down but not back up that good. It will go up just a little at a time.

Today I swapped switches and it seemed to make the window act normal, but I could get it to go down with the "bad switch" sometimes too.

Tomarrow I'm going to swap both switches and use them like that for about a week to see what happens.

If I need a new switch where do you all recommend on getting it? Year one has them for $13.95 each is that good or bad? I need some kind of reference for prices.

I'm only interested in new switches.

you can go to either next generation by year one or thirdgenparts...

 

Has anybody tried a dealership? I might call tomarrow if I get time.

 

They cost about the same at a dealership - I just bought one a couple of weeks ago.

I paid $18.00 for both in my 83 Trans-Am about 5 years ago from the dealer.

I think I paid about $17 for each at a dealer. They may look different then the orignals but they will fit into the console. Also, if you can get them really cheap (maybe used) get an extra set.

 

I finally got time to go today. I ordered mine at the dealership for $10.94 Each.

 

man, they are that much? I got two power doorlock switches and one window switch from my dealer for about 12 bucks total. That was for a 95 ta though, so maybe they just run different prices.

I think when I was looking in my nextgen catalog I saw that the 4th gen swiches were cheaper.

I just ordered some from thirdgenparts.com for about $13 each. Thought it would be good to use someone who advertizes on this site ... see the banner above.

 

WTF? Direct, no shipping, cheaper. I think I'd rather get from my dealer.

Our Trans Am Club is sponsered by the dealer, so we get parts at wholesale. The window switches for us is about $7.00. Door lock switches are $3.50, I replaced mine last year since the words were faded.

Oh, and I am using the 4th Gen Power Window/Doow/Mirror control panel from a 96 Camaro. Window and doors wire up fine, it's just the power mirror controls that I can 't get to function correctly.

Zepher, how many people are in that club? How did it start? I was thinking of trying to get a local fbody club up around here.

 

I bought them from next gen parts for $13.00
