Rear window (not Alfred Hitchcock)
My wife's '99 STS rear window switches don't work. The driver's switches operate both rear windows fine, but the left rear door window switch does nothing, while the right rear will run the window up but not down.
Is this just a switch issue, or something else? I suppose it's evidence of the car having a colorful past. There are lots of little ****ling things that I've discovered since buying it--like the left side rear-view mirror had loose nuts holding it on, a couple of map-light buttons are broken, right seat controls areall broken offetc.
Seller showed me a clean Carfax, but that could just mean there were noshops with Carfax reportingthat worked on it. I didn't pay a lot for it, so I didn't expect perfection.
Is there a salvage yard near Colorado that specializes in Cadillac? I need a few map lights, rear seat fan switch ****, right power seat controls, the afore-mentioned window switches, all in the off-white color.
Thanks.

last time i had those kind of problems I aquired a new set of switched and that was that.
if you are so inclined, most switches can be sprayed by "e-contact cleaner" while you work the switches and
if that dont work, dipped in "tarn-X" ....
