Q –  The window switch for the right window on my 944 feels funny and only the switch on the right door activates the window. I could just buy a switch but I hate to waste the money if it won’t fix the problem. What do you suggest?  Bill

Well Bill, you might need the switch but first, does the switch feel “cocked” and mushy? If so, it is broken and you will need the new one. The plastic “hinge” occasionally breaks. Now if the switch feels good but simply does not work, try swapping switches to see if the problem follows the switch. If it does, then try cleaning the switch with “contact cleaner” which you can buy at Radio Shack. This works 50% of the time for me. Don’t be surprised if the switch does not instantly begin to work. The contact cleaner must evaporate after application. Most switches on older cars get funky just due to our corrosive environment rather than wear.   — MC
