How much does it cost to replace a car window switch?

I was going through the drive-thru to get my morning coffee, and I tried to roll down my driver’s side window—but it wasn’t working! I tried my window again later and it’s still not working. I read that this is a window switch problem. How much does it cost to replace a car window switch?

While a faulty
car window
switch might not affect your car’s overall performance, it’s still pretty significant when it comes to comfort and convenience.
If the problem is indeed the switch, replacing a car window switch usually costs somewhere between $200 and $300, although this can vary depending on what kind of car you drive.
There are a few components that control your power window: the regulator, the motor, and the switch. The regulator keeps the window in place on its tracks, the motor puts your window in motion, and the switch controls the motor’s power to open and close your window.
Not being able to open or close your driver’s-side window can eventually become a safety or security issue, so you should try and get the car to a
mechanic
as soon as you’re able.
