Thumbs down Master window switch module replacement

Is it possible to replaced the just the window lockout switch on the master switch module located on the drivers door of my 2003 Dodge ram 1500 Quad cab? Do you have to replace the whole module of switches ? Do you have to remove the door panel to replace this master switch module or can it be done by removing the bezel cover panel? Any help would be appreciated.

The switch pulls right up and unplugs. The bezel pops off, but I don't think ou can remove individual components (all one cluster so to speak). If I remember right, I was going to convert it to both front switches auto down, but couldn't.

i doubt youd be able to find just that part. it COULD be replaced though, ive youve got some soldering/small electronics skills.

Default Thanks for the Help!!

I couldn't figure out why the dealer wanted $297.00 to replace the switch. I was assuming that it involved a lot of dis-assembly to access the switch. I just had the dash assembly replaced for cracking and assumed the dealer caused the problem as the problem appeared when I picked the truck up from the dealer service department. After reading your comments I went out and popped the module out of the door panel. One of the electrical plugs was a little loose (though not enough to cause the problem I believe) so I removed the plug and checked for damaged then plugged it back in. All the windows now work. I am hoping this was the problem but know I can replace the whole module if necessary. Thanks again.

Just in case you like silver buttons, the SRT10 versions are a straight drop in.
