Post subject: Saab 9000 rear window switches

I have a 1993 SAAB 9000 CS and latley have been having a problem with the rear window switches. Somethimes they work, somtimes they don't, and somtimes one works and not the other. I am almost sure that the problem is in the switch that turns the rear windows on and off but I do not know how to open the panel in the central consel. Does anyone know? also, do you think this is the problem?

Thanks for the help,
Greg

Use a thin putty knife to go around the edges of the switch pack where
it seats on the console. The pack comes out as a unit. You then lift
a plastic lever for the electrical wiring connector to separate the
wiring from the switch pack. After that you can place the pack on a
bench to open it up and clean. Use a utility knife blade to carefully
open the switch pack. It should be apparent to you after it is opened.
Inside every toggle switch there is a bent copper piece. Clean the
copper piece and contact point.

The switches are notorious for getting gummed up. They can be carefully
disassembled, cleaned and reassembled.
