96 Accord window master switch

[bustednutz]

Hi again all,

The power windows on my Accord are acting up. 3 of the 4 windows go up and down, except the front pass side. So after taking apart the master switch and cleaning it, all 4 started to operate again, then the pass rear stopped working. Then the pass front would only go down, and not back up. I had to jump the pass front motor to get it back up.
So my question it this......Are all these the signs of a faulty master switch?
From much of what I've read it would seem so. Just looking to see if anyone else is familiar with these cars and this specific problem.

can you jumper the switch's that operate the individual windows to make sure the motors work? then move on to replacing the switch?

All the window motors work. That has been confirmed.

how expensive is a new switch?

I went and got a new OEM master switch from the dealer. Quite pricey......130 bucks. THAT DIDN'T FIX IT! Now I'm really mad. My business does a lot of business with the Honda dealer, so I can return it. I'm more angry that I now have to chase this problem down. I hate electrical problems.
