    Great Wall X240 - drivers door switch unit

    Hi
    I have a Great Wall X240 2011 SUV.
    A problem has developed with the with drivers door master switch.
    The drivers window switch, works one time then stops it seems to be an intermittent problem. The motor sounds like it is working.

    My question is what is the best way to fix this problem.
    1. replace the entire unit
    2. replace the one switch

    Can the switches be interchanged with each other on the panel within the car.
    The part number is 3746200-K12 for the complete master unit.
    Would an autoelectrician be able to fix this problem with a stock/generic switch part?

    I have rung the dealer and they have said to source the switch part from somewhere else, though the strange thing is that they will import the window mechanism....

    remove the switch, they are usually clipped together. carefully unclip it making sure the spring doesnt fly out and clean the contacts. i had to do nearly every switch when we had a nissan x-fail

    I had the exact same vehicle. At 40 000km it started with electrical contacts becoming intermittent. Mine was the indicator stalk. Hope it's just a coincidence.

    Thank you for replying 2post, what is the best way to contact you as I can't see any way to PM you?

    Does anyone know a "switched on" auto electician in the Wellington lower North Island area who can fix this switch...

    Sorry not updating a reply sooner.

    Firstly i sprayed the offending window with spray on oil / CRC / WD40 and using a spatula between the glass and the door rubber trying to get oil down into the mechanism inside the door, Maybe it was rusty inside the door?

    Secondly the Great Wall of rust developed a crack in the front window screen, When i went to the glass repairer i got him to take the drivers internal panel off....no rust in the window mechanical parts.

    Then magically sometime the window would work up and down and sometimes didn't. Then strangely if i had the drivers door wide open the window would go up and down flawlessly.

    Next stage take it to an auto electrician..... The words of wisdom being the problem is most likely in the wiring loom / harness?

    Then back to the dealer for price on parts etc.....Covid 19 wait times etc ?

    At the moment i have just left it and use that drivers window sparingly,,,...The car has recently got a WOF but the car is reaching the end of its economical life?

    Great Wall cars would i buy one again, probably not. Next car to buy maybe a Toyota Highlander hybrid model?
