Windows only working from driver door!
I am sure there is a thread on this, but I have had no luck finding it, the windows all work from the driver side and about 10% of the time they will actually work from their own switches.

If you don't really care about the switch, go behind the panel and cut the wires leading to that particular switch and then tape them off.

If you want the lockout to keep working (I did since I have a 2 year old), you can get the Dorman switch from Amazon for about $60. Fits and works great, and all of my stuff works like new again.

A paperclip will work but it is steel and not really a great conductor. In addition, it is a bare conductor when installed as the picture shows. If you just want to jumper out the lock-out switch, why not strip the 2 wires and solder in a good jumper wire that can be properly taped and insulated from shorting?

I just looked at that link, pulled the switch back out, but even with the screws out it will not separate to get to the green board. How do you pull the switch covers off without breaking them or the board?

Why don't you go to the junkyard!!! I replaced two small switches and the main cluster in the driver door... cost me a whopping 15$
