I ordered a master window switch for a 05 2 months ago. Still working great, was a ford part with no label and the ford symbol sanded off. http://www.ebay.com/itm/180761388345?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1497.l2649

Just ordered the rest of the window switches a couple minutes ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170800249349?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p398 4.m1497.l2649

Figured I'd give Mapdistributors a plug, shipping was fast, better price than anywhere else. In the message I sent them, they claimed it wasn't aftermarket, but an actual ford part on the master switch.

 

They're so easy to clean & repair, why would you buy new ones?

 

What he said. ^^^^^^^^^^

 

I've sanded them two or three times, as soon as you use them again they burn over the contacts and quit working. I'm not sure why either. I think this is going to be the 3rd time around all the switches have been replaced. I'm very familiar with sanding the contacts on switches, I'm not sure what this truck does to them, but they never last long.

 

Somethin' definitely not right there. You must have some HEAVY arcing going on there, you should even be able to hear it if it burns that quickly. Can't imagine that new switches are gonna last any time at all.

 

It's been two months and the new master switch hasn't quit working. It seems like after about 2 years the switches die, and no amount of sanding the contacts can bring them back. The contacts kept burning over after one use. New switches come in tuesday or wednesday.
