Drivers side 2 gen window and lock switch assembly

Anyone got one laying around or know where I might find one. So far the two from the wrecker were duds in different ways then the original.
Its from an 00".

Are you absolutely sure it's not the wires in the door jamb?

well, no. LOL When he hit the door lock the window moved down. When he hit the down mode on the drivers, it did nothing so he held the lock button in unlock and the window went up. I just watched as he did this and I also told him about the broken wires in my truck's drivers rear door.
He is checking the wiring right now but the switch is also loose on the driver window button...about to fall out. He may have two problems...switch and the wires.

Roger that, could be two problems but it sounds like the switch is toast anyway.

Its rare that the switch would be bad. They are easily taken apart and polished up to work. With the way things are going I suspect wiring.

Jason (doj dewd) had some funky problems with his power locks/windows. Traced it back to the key lock. It has the kind of lock where you turn it twice and it unlocks both doors. After it got broken into and then 'repaired' by the dealership, he had windows that would lock the doors. Ended up unhooking the wiring from the key lock it went back to normal.

I fixed my 2002 today. As of today both my windows up/down and my power locks work. Both doors need door/window switchs and they need to be plugged in to work. I still have one bad speaker, so its all coming apart soon again, for the 100th time

I've pulled my switches apart, are the newer models that different? I pulled the switch open on my 02 Town and Country and the same brass points and copper flippers inside.
