08 Honda accord EXL replace diver side window master switch ...help please
1st new to the forum so forgive me if I posted in wrong section...
08 Honda accord EXL
Due to wear & tear my diver side window button broke.i can no longer open or close the driver side window. Luckly it snapped in the up position.The other three window buttons work fine.
So im told my only option is to replace the whole diver side master window control switch. The local Honda dealer wants $ 250 for the part & $ 180 to install it. CRAZY.
I've seen the part online for as little as $80 & as high as $150.
I want to do it myself to save $$$.
is this a simple repair?
. Do i Simply swap out the old for the new? Or is there more to it?
should I disconnect the car battery 1st then do the swap.
will I need some kind of Honda code to reprogram my car keys?
Any response will be appreciated !
Thank you in advance..

If you do not want to take any chances of a short, you can disconnect the negative battery cable before replacement.
The assembly can be pried up from the arm rest. Then unplug the connector.
Remove the 4 screws holding the window control unit to the removed assembly.
After replacement, you have to reset the power window control unit.

Drive Power Window switch Swap
I am curious, can you swap the power window buttons to all have auto down/up? Or even driver and passenger ones? Also my windows have become very slow esp when closing. How do I fix this? Thanx

The auto up/down function is through a control unit, so swapping switches won't help.
For the slow rolling up, use a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol to clean the rubber guides. You can purchase silicone spray grease to spray into the rubber channels after cleaning to prevent the window from dragging.
