Your video was a saviour, many thanks. I found you can access and remove switch without needing to remove the door handle with the T20 etc, just a bit tighter space to work with but comes out no problem. However, after swapping out the switches with a new one, I still found the fault with my driver window, along with issues with all four other windows remained. Next, I opened and exposed the door wiring loom between door and body, unclipped rubber boot and wiring loom and found a very fine red/white wire that had a clean break, reconnected and that fixed it. So along with the switch going, a common problem is the wires breaking within that rubber door loom that bridges door to body.

I just followed the instructions in this video and changed my driver side window panel without any issues. Thank you for your step by step instructions

[@zahimiibrahim3602]

I went thru the exact procedure to replace the broken switch on my wife's '07 A4. Pulling out the metal trim panel was a neat trick I wouldn't have known about. Thanks to you, youtube and other videos like this made it quick and easy. Just wish they made those silly plastic clips that break off so easily with better plastic.

[@stevebester3514]

Thank you. I needed to replace and your example was spot on. Took me 1 hour and I'm not a technical expert.

This kind of people making a difference by sharing their knowledge.

[@gerrygoldstein4698]

Perfect instructions Much appreciated...was a breeze to do with your detailed video and commentary

[@7EiamJ7]

Couple of points. 2:00 First, this maybe model specific, but there's one more Philips screw right at the bottom that will prevent removal if not undone. Plus mine had 4 latches to pull out near each corner, wasn't quite as simple as a gentle pull. 3:40, 6 extra screws, not 3, which you can see in next scene have also been removed. It might be a bit pedantic but some literally following this may find this helpful. 4:40 if your having trouble getting the switch out, as there's also 2 tabs on the back which can be tricky to undo, due to reach, but you can remove the panel that houses the switch from the door handle, no screws or tabs just need to pry it away from 4 points.

doing god's work with this great video. will be replacing mine soon and wouldn't have been able to without this video. Thank you!

[@drhallertube]

This is a great video - bought the part from 1A Auto. I was tempted to replace the switch without the removal of the door handle but I already had the T20 and it gave me a chance to marvel at Audi engineering. Thanks again!

[@1AAuto]

+Dan Haller Thank you for your feedback and your business!

[@tpmarkham]

Thanks, great video. Just ordered a new switch from you guys. Rear doors won't open unless I hold down the child safety button but once I release the window stop moving. Also hoping this fixes my problem with the car not unlocking when I get out and my keys and I get locked out. Learned to never get out of the car without my keys or leaving a window open. Thank you, Tom

Outstanding guide, made the installation of a new window switch a piece of cake on my 05 A4 B6.

[@dfalise1]

Just the video I needed, thanks! I had trouble unplugging the wire harness to the switch, so I popped the switch out first and then unplugged it. Awesome vid!

[@yolis8105]

Thank you, this was a big help

[@spanieaj]

Excellent video and thanks for the great deal on the power window switch gear! However, I want to add to the instructions for this video that might be pertinent to particular years of the Audi A4. I have a 2003 Audi A4. There is a single Phillips head screw at the very bottom center of the door panel. With the age of my car, it took a fair amount of force to pop the door panel retaining clips off the door. I actually broke two of the clips in the removal process. (This proved to be not vital in replacing the door panel since the panel has many attachment points.) I would also advise to remove the power lead to the power mirror switch so you can separate the armrest completely from the door panel. Once the armrest is removed from the door panel you can see that the armrest is actually two pieces. Separate the plastic part of the armrest (which holds the power window switch gear) from the rest of the armrest. This will give you access to the window switch on both sides. There are two more retainer clips on the far side of the switch that need to be loosened (like the front side). This made it much easier to remove the switch! The installation of the switch, putting the door panel back together, and reinstalling the poor panel onto the door was fairly easy.

[@spanieaj]

BTW. The nomenclature, the casing, and the connector look different from the original equipment on my 2003 Audi A4. However, the retainer clips are in the same location and the power connectors matched up and clipped into place with no problem. You don't even notice the different nomenclature on the switches from the other door window switches.

Thank you A1 for the great demo. appreciate it big time. Can it be something other than the switch since it works sometimes and completely dead other times? even the gas door won't open when its "dead". love to hear back from you.

@@1AAuto i have 2003 audi and need a switch but my car has only 2 power windows... do u perhaps have for sale that cind of switch? ty for info

[@nlane126]

Excellent video, but there is a step you might want to include when you are removing the switch. Sometimes it doesn't lift straight up, like in the video. That's what I experienced; you can take the armrest apart since it also clicks in on the other side as well. Otherwise, you can break the clips that hold it in. Thanks again.

[@markaddesso2955]

Thanks for the video. Very clear and very easy to follow. I ordered the switch from you guys, and installed it in a few minutes! Unfortunately, it did not fix my problem :( All my windows work, EXCEPT the driver side. The switch was pretty easy to replace, so I started there. I'm thinking of replacing the motor, but would like to know if there is some way to check that my wiring is working and it is indeed a bad motor. The electrical connections are pretty complicated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -Mark

[@1AAuto]

+Mark Addesso Thanks for watching. If your driver side window still is inoperable it could be the motor/regulator that is causing this matter.

[@michelleharrington9821]

This is auch an excellent video! I THINK this is my problem, but maybe you can help? About 2 months ago I left my interior light on overnight which caused my battery to go dead. Ever since recharging the battery, my drivers side window rolls up and down, but none of the others do. Yes, I have tried checking all fuses and engaging and dis engaging the child lock.

[@1AAuto]

+Michelle Harrington Thanks for watching. When the battery died, some of the options may have gone into a fail safe mode. This would have to be diagnosed at a local repair facility for the exact issue. If any of our viewers needs to make this repair, we carry the auto repair part shown in this video on our website.

You dont actually need to remove the arm rest just the door panel. Then remove switch with 90 degree pick and pull on the harness to release it

[@danielb8886]

My door entered some sort of error, the lights and switches on the door panel don't work but they worked before removing the panel. The speaker works though. Is there something you gotta do to restart the ecu in the door or??

[@surfstev]

Somebody soldered after market speaker wires so that I would have to cut them to get the panel off mine. For some reason after trying to remove the switch harness unsuccessfully without taking the panel off, the switch worked long enough to get the rear window back up. I have both master and rear window switches ordered and put them all back together till they arrive.

[@Oscar99929]

Hi Mike - two questions: 1. Is the installation pretty similar for a 2011 Q7? 2. My window button is "sticky" ie. Sometimes the window goes down, sometimes is will not... sound like the switch?

[@1AAuto]

+Oscar Mayer Thank you for checking us out. To answer your question number 2 it does appear that the switch is intermittently failing causing this stick. Some of the steps should be similar, but the Q7 will have slightly different steps. 1aauto.com

[@surfstev]

The rear passenger side looks pretty much the same EXCEPT How do I get the fastener out under the handle? A Phillips doesn't seem to work.

[@Jmack609]

Great video but now my door light isn't coming on. I just installed custom Audi symbol light otherwise I wouldn't care. Can you help

[@Thunter001]

Hello sir I have audi a4 b7 (20007) 2.0 non turbo vehicle Mine window main swich keep burn out when i replace a new one after 1 ride its burn it out ( not functioning anymore) I replace with aliexpress non genuine main swich .... Can you give me a solution for that please ... Thank you very much

[@pipinho21]

Dose it work for Audi A3 2006 the same way?

[@AudiRally86]

Thank you

[@influxvision]

Is the same procedure for the 2007 Audi Q7? Switch looks Identical

[@1AAuto]

+influxvision It may be a different procedure on your application. We currently do not have an auto repair video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking. 1aauto.com

[@influxvision]

1A Auto Parts It is very similar, the only difference is, that there is one screw behind the cover in front of the lock buttons, one on the door handle, one on behind the design trim, and one on the bottom center of the door panel

[@uriahps4]

will this procedure work on a 2005 a6 also ?.

hi,I dont want to the replace switches but arm rest. ¿How to remove white electrical piece (watch on 4:32) in order to insert it in the new arm rest?. thanks

[@CraigMansfield]

pretty sure they just push up and out from underneath......... unless I dreamt it :D

[@some105]

Hello guys. Hope you can help me. On my b6, the window lock button does not hold on the button (meaning it is always up so the windows are always locked). All the controlls work but the button just doesn't hold. Do I need to change the whole piece or can it be something else?

[@1AAuto]

+some105 You may need to change the switch assembly. The button is more than likely worn out. We carry the one shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them. Hope this helps you out. www.1aauto.com/audi-a4-s4-master-power-window-switch/i/1awes00214?KZbin&CTA+Comment&
