This Dorman power window switch mounts in the front left door position and has two buttons for power window operation. Signs the switch may need replacing include a window that does not respond when its button is pressed, a window that works only some of the time, or a cracked or missing button. A window that will not move can also come from the motor, regulator or wiring, so diagnose the cause first. If the factory switch is the problem, the 901-017 replaces it.
