1995 JEEP Cherokee Power Window Switch Repair

None of my power windows would work anymore so I set out the fix the problem. After checking continuity of the switches with my meter I disassembled the eaton switch by prying the top off. Inside each switch is two contact strips. I cleaned them and the contacts in the switch base and put the switch back together. Did the same with all four switches and took the assembly out to the truck to see if that fixed the problem. It did indeed. All four windows with go up and down now. Thanks Dalton for being my camera guy. Great job.

Here this video is 12 years old and ABSOLUTELY saved me today from spending $140+ on a new switch panel - AWESOME video, thank you for taking the time to make it!! People like you make a real difference in the world and the rest of us appreciate it!!

[@petersellers2223]

Thanks for the detailed explanation on how to fix switch block.

[@PCBoardRepair]

Welcome...glad you enjoyed the video!

[@snailsarekool]

You are amazing solved my problem with my 88 jeep. Imagine driving around in 30 degree weather with the window stuck up not fun. Thank you

[@rastadog10]

I just wanted to also express my thanks for your video post. My 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee switches were a bit different, but I applied the same cleaning concepts and the windows work great. Saved nearly $250 for a new master switch set. Thank you.

[@PCBoardRepair]

I take donations now

[@player0002]

I have a `04 Sebring not a jeep but same general idea applies, after watching your video I did the cleaning and saved like $60 on a new master switch. My switch was Mopar (not Eaton) but still the insides looked very similar. Problem solved! Thanks

[@waynemwilliams]

Hi Mate, thanks for the video, I had a similar problem with my 1995 XJ and after watching your video my windows and central locking works again. Cheers!!👍🏼

Welcome

[@MaximvanWijk]

Thanks to your video I was able to get the windows on my recently bought early '97 XJ back in working order. I did have to open up the switch a few more times for some fine tuning of the copper springs inside before they worked flawlessly again. Kudos!

[@IdeaManTastic]

I'm having the same problem with my Jeep and am now eager to dig into my switches. I already bought an ebay motor for the drivers side and will be Ok with eating the cost of it if it's just my switches. Good video. Thanks.

[@PCBoardRepair]

@snailsarekool Your welcome thats exactly why I posted this video...thanks for watching!

[@pepsi1981]

thanks for the video give me an idea to rip apart my 98 mercury mystique power window switch and clean it up, now my windows go down

[@fathan16]

this is the most useful video on youtube. thank you so much

[@LuisZurita41]

When they didn't work were they making any noise when attempting to open/close the window? I just recently got a 96 XJ and the master switch does not work, and neither do the switches for each door. This video really helped and this is probably the first thing I'll try, thanks!

[@PCBoardRepair]

Luis Zurita made no noise.... Just did not work

[@northwestcoasters8438]

The driver side panel in my '95 Cherokee works for all the windows, the rear driver window switch works as well. But neither of my passenger side windows will work from their switch. Checked wires and it looks okay. Could the window lock switch be partially broken and only cutting power to the passenger side?

[@PCBoardRepair]

Could be motor...place meter at motor and move switch..you should see voltage across motor when switch pressed....voltage should reverse when switch is moved in other direction

[@laragreene8328]

I have same year Jeep but my window switches look different. Maybe it will still work though.I'll try it.Thanks!

[@PCBoardRepair]

Did it work?

[@laragreene8328]

thanx a lot ! very usefull video !

[@thejmasterp8334]

Hi, I have a 96 xj with widows not working or just randomly working. Then when they do want to work its a slow grind up or down. Is the grinding another problem or are the two related? Thanks

[@IdeaManTastic]

Sometimes the grinding is due to hardened weather beaten/sun baked rubber. I lube mine periodically with some light household oil or WD40 etc. and have noticed improvement. Also make sure the rubber isn't working against the window (in the way). Seems simple enough but, I didn't consider the above until someone mentioned it to me so, I thought I'd mention it here in case it helps someone.

[@PCBoardRepair]

yes

[@jimmygunz6762]

What are the clips at 8:40 called? I need to buy some

[@PCBoardRepair]

[@PCBoardRepair]

welcome

[@4345g]

can i use this method for the other switches? my main switch works its the others that don't.

[@ZHGAmingAllTheWay]

4345g that has to do with the child lock sending a false signal

[@anguskangus8222]

its a jeep thing, i understand.

[@nathanffitness5263]

I wish I could just buy those clip things by themselves beacuse that's all I really need the whole block thing falls into the door all the time and I dont want to caugh up 120 to buy parts I dont need hahaha

[@PCBoardRepair]

lol
