My windows in my 2000 Durango aren't working. Only from the drivers switch. I believe it is the lockout switch. Can someone please give me a detailed description on how I would go about bypassing it? THANKS

 

No bypass, replace or R&R the existing one.

Grrrrrr.

Really?

Your "solution" leaves the system in an abortion-like state with "the doors as if they are unlocked all the time."

I guess if one doesn't mind redneck engineering, jumpers here and there, and a short years later leaving their Durango a burning hulk on the side of the road, go for it.

Otherwise, replace or R&R the existing one. For the time and trouble to do all in the links, I could swap out the switch probably 10 times and be done with it knowing I don't have to worry about any of this again for another decade.

I think we are back to the, "jut because you can doesn't mean you should" type of situation. I bet we could cut the top of of the Durango and create a convertible too. And let's do it using a tile saw and a chisel. Just sayin'.

Really.

LOL

Well he did show him how to bypass it, but he didn't say it would work the same......

 

LMAO

 

Thanks, I'm here all week.

 

Ok, so replacing the the entire master switch would solve the problem instead of bypassing it? So could I find one at a junk yard and use it?

 

Yes you can

 

yup a junkyard part is the cheapest way to do it correctly

and indy, as hydra said i never said it was a good idea, just that it was possible, and yes it does leave the windows in an unlocked position, however for those of us who dont have kids that is not a concern, its it technically correct? nope, of course not, will it work if you cant find the part or until the replacement comes in? apparently yes.
