Ford Dealership told me the switch would have to be replaced for about $200. I simply took the switch box off the door, opened up the switch, pulled the slider with the 2 sets of 2 prongs, and bent 2 of them up a little higher so they engaged the switch. Put it back together and now it works perfect. Takes about 15 minutes. I wish Ford mechanics would have really looked at it instead of just saying, "Yep, its broke, got to replace it . . . Pay me." Find someone who is somewhat mechanically inclined and give them a beer.
