Standard Ignition Door Window Switch P/N:DS-1453
Replace a worn front left door window switch with the Standard Ignition DS-1445 Power Window Switch, the control that sends power to the window motor when you press it. It fits many GM vehicles, among them the 1996-1999 Oldsmobile LSS, 1997-1998 Oldsmobile Regency and 1994-1996 Buick Commercial Chassis. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Designed specifically for GM vehicles, this door window switch is precisely engineered as an OE replacement. It is intended for a seamless fit, proper performance and simplified installation in the front left position.
Signs the switch may need replacing include a window that doesn't respond when the switch is pressed, works only intermittently, or moves in one direction only. A window motor, regulator or wiring fault can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause first. If the switch is at fault, the DS-1445 replaces it.
