99 Grand Prix Power window switch smoked and died
 
I know this isn't a blazer. But I figured somebody might tell me what is up. While rolling up the window on the driver side. The window struggled for 5 sec and finished rolling up. Afterwords I noticed smoke from the power window switch cluster on the driver side. Well I rolled it down (no smoke) and up (smoke). So I removed the door panel and checked everything out. Lubed all the railings. The power window went down but when up, smoke. Then the switch finally burned out. When I jumped the switch the two wires to roll up the window. Rolls up fine just like the other three windows with no struble at all. So do I have a bad switch? Is it just that or do I have over issues? I assume just a bad switch. But this is the main driver side 4 button switch that burned up. So I don't think it will be cheap. I would hate to replace it again and again. I have never seen this problem before. Advise would be nice.

Thanks,

Josh

Go to a wreckers and find the part you need!

Yes, I'm thinking that
 
Yes, I'm thinking that. But I wanted to make sure it was nothing more than a old warn out switch.

Thanks,

could be the motor starting to go ading extra load to the window switch. I would get a JY switch right now and if it happens again replace the motor
