My car..the driver's window switch. Down is easy, but up, is a bitch. I have to hold it in the perfect position. Its such a chore that I rarely roll my window down anymore.
Anyone heard of this or know of a fix?

Time for a new master control switch. It's common for them to shit the bed.
yeah take off the panel around it and all your switches are in one big i guess like he said master control switch. just buy a new one. had to replace one in my old frontier and actually one in my 06 sti, not sure why but it went bad too. so just buy that new switch plug it in, and your good to go.

I would try to buy a used one first. They are big bucks brand new. I bought a used one from a bone yard for $50. I had to because my window was stuck down and I had to get it up before it rained.

I don't like water inside my car regardless the size of the rain drops. Also around here an unattended car with an open window isn't a bright idea. Locks only keep out honest people, and theres not many honest people running around. :-(

I would think 00-04
any model with the same door panel should all the the same. im not familiar enough with legacys yet thou to send out some years. but call suby, they can give u a part number and just browse around online. the dealered wanted 400 bucks for mine for the frontier and like i said i found it online for 98 brand new from a nissan part distributor.

Did you also know that BD/BK window switches are NOT the same as BE's?
Like I said - don't give out advice if you're not 100% on it.

no shit there different? thats funny they are different body styles, duh they are different, like i said. if the door panels are the same its the same switch!!
example. BD's and BK's have the same panel design, so the switches are the same....
another in my frontier, 98-00 was one body style 01-04 was another. but they all had the same door panel design so the window switch would fit anything from 98-04.
i never said anything about trying to put a BD switch in his BE. so i dont know where that came from.

I know you didn't say anything about BD->BE, but reading comprehension PWNED you. :lol:
dont understand where your coming from but okay! he asked for years and a part number, i just told him any make model or year with the same set up in teh door panel will be the same. and call suby for a part number, takes about 2 min to do.

mine crapped out and decided it was finished
we decided to buy a new one from the dealership
i honestly think the labor cost as much as the part
whatever... i got to drive my mom's 07 LGT to school that day

To install the master switch isnt hard. If you had to take the panel aprt a few times it's not hard.
