What Happened
The power window switch in your vehicle sends signals to control your windows and doors. Over time, dirt and moisture can damage the switch's electrical contacts, causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the switch gets clogged with debris and moisture, it could overheat and catch fire, causing significant damage to your vehicle and potentially putting you at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will inspect the switch and apply a special lubricant if it's not damaged. If the switch is faulty, they'll replace the circuit board for you – and it's completely free.
