Add me to the list of those with a dead window (driver's side, won't go down). I was also told it was a bad switch. Guess I'll find out this weekend when the part comes in.

I'm not saying this isn't an appropriate post for a LEAF forum - it is - just saying that cars have been experiencing extra resistance rolling windows up or down basically since movable windows were introduced.
Yes.essaunders said:My drivers window doesnt work now. My other windows work from the drivers switch (and presumably from their own switches)
Is that consistent behavior with other people who had a drivers window stop working?
Ouch!essaunders said:Ok. I think I found the switch online for around $112. I might give my dealer a call to get them to quote the repair.
I had to do the same switch replacement on my subaru...
Agreed, as someone who has replaced many power windows across all makes and models, power windows getting stuck/burned out is one of those things that happens that people tend to ignore until it breaks.cgaydos said:For the record, this has nothing to do with LEAFs or EVs specifically.

knightmb said:It sounds like the switch is the weak point if this is common. The window regulator has an issue (friction somewhere), so the slower movement heats up the motor more. The heat causes more current draw. The increased current draw kills the weakest link, which seems to be just the actual switch itself. Perhaps the switch is only rated for a certain current draw and cold is causing the slower motor to consume more power and the switch just overheats and melts (malfunction) finally.
There have been some systematic problems with the LEAF windows.lpickup said:Do we have a systemtic problem with the Nissan LEAF power window switch (not motor, as was the original symptom of this and the other thread) in the cold? (somewhat rhetorical question I guess).

Is this a systemic problem with the LEAF...
