Awesome. I am a 55 year old lady and don’t know anything mechanical. I watched how it was done and mastered it. So proud of myself. Thanks for the video.

Excellent video and an easy repair. The drivers door is a bit more difficult with more tabs and the lockout button. That button can be pried off very gently. Also some spray electrical contact cleaner makes short work of cleaning the switches.

I have a Mazda 5 like yours and I happen to come across your video. I must tell you that you are awesome for helping us out. I am retired and on a fixed income and you are a blessing for us! Thank you so much!!!

I just fixed 3 window switches! Thank you for the great tutorial!

Can't thank you enough, this worked on my 5, my window was left open so it was definitely important to fix, changed a few fuses out even though they weren't burnt but wanted to try.

Easier way to pry these open is using toothpicks , stick them underneath each tab and just pull it open 😉

Thank you very much. You saved my day. I have just done all switches on my 2013 mazda 3 which has similar carbon build up issue. All my roll up switches is black. The assembly is different but easy enough to figure out.

Cheers Man, 3 out of 4 windows now work; that's 3 more than earlier today! I see that as a success!

Great video. Drivers side was a little harder but did the trick. Thanks.

This really helped me and saved me from ordering a new switch for a Mazda 6... Thanks Photomikes!

I am from Portugal and I like your tips I have a mazda 5 from 2007 I have been learning something , congratulations to the channel.....

This worked for me.! Thank you for your good deed!

Thanks a lot! The rear right was not going up, now it works through the front switch, but is still not going up through the rear switch. I will have to replace the whole car.

thanks so much. Fixed my window, great instructions....

My 12 year old Mazda 3 just started having this issue. Thanks for covering the R Pass switch, as my others are working fine…!👍🏻

It worked. It was a perfect fix for my Mazda Premacy 2010. As a thank you. I subscribed.

Great video thank you so much just a little add-on most of the soot was able to be removed with a q-tip and rubbing alcohol again great video thank you

Thank you. This saved me a lot of money

Just used this to fix my driver's side controls. Only difference was using a small patch of sandpaper to clean off the metal ribbon. Thanks!

Thanks for the vid I have a 5 2007 and the rears window don’t roll down I’m gonna try this method and see if it works and it seems like the windows are stuck to but thank u

great man, tks

How do you take off the lock button on the driver side panel. The last bottom button. It has two little grooves but I couldn't remove it without possibly breaking it.

i started this process on my driver side door, a couple of pieces fell out when i was removing the plastic cover to the switches and i can’t figure out where they go. could you show the driver’s side specifically and what it’s supposed to look like?

Good video.

thanks for the tutorial

Mike Can you show me how to fix the rear fan of the aircon i have mazda 5 2010, the aircon is working properly but nothing comeout with the rear fun

Thanxx alot

I subscribed bro thanks

Hi Mike. All of my four windows suddenly quit working at same time, completely. I checked my fuse, which is good. Do you think it is as same as your problem?

Our window get stuck switch work but it was intermittent is that same symptoms u got?

Thank you beo

I have found that strong vinegar on a q-tip removes that green corrosion.

Update: Mine stopped working again after a very short time. I wonder if there is a way to protect the internal switch parts from getting burnt up and/or dirty.

Hey, thanks for the video. The driver side window on the my mazda 5 quit, or really, it moves like an inch up and down, so I suppose there still could be an electric contact problem. The thing is, the switch that controls that window has a small lightbulb that straddles the switch, so you can't remove the top of the switch to see those little rockers inside. The bulb is soldered in. Do you think I can just remove that bulb, without causing problems with the rest of the switch? My gut says yes, but I am just not sure

Saw you're video applied it on my 2 gen very helpful to keep maintaining the switches. Unfortunately, it not solved my problem. The windows mostly the rears, sometimes work and sometimes not. Saw the carbonized and cleaned it up. Just have one clicking sound when press the button and the window not moving.

Driver side door window switch MUCH more complicated. Please advise. Thanks

What is a Mau zda?

Hello Mike! I have one question concerning this. All of a sudden, all my windows stopped working intermittent and then not at all, all at once. Do you think this would be my problem??? I already verified the fuses and they are still good so I know it's not that, and I was about to go visit the garage but I am afraid they will scam and over charge me!

You do know they make contact cleaner made for stuff like this. Crc is a brand. You should use cleaner or at least rubbing alcohol. Dont think file is the right way to clean them now. Should have cleaned plug pins too on the one Really
