Send the up-and-down command to your power window with the Standard Ignition DS-1162 Power Window Switch, a left-side door window switch designed specifically for Chrysler vehicles. It fits several Dodge trucks, among them the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1998 Dodge Dakota. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and configuration details.
A worn window switch can stop making reliable contact. The window may then ignore the button, respond only some of the time, or move in just one direction. If the left switch is the cause, DS-1162 replaces it with a unit that Standard Ignition engineered as an OE replacement.
This switch is cataloged for the left position. Engine and trim details for each listed truck appear in the Buyer's Guide tab.
