Default window rocker switch - can it be cleaned?

The passenger rocker switch will send the window down not up. If I mess with it I can get it to go. Can they be taken apart and cleaned? If not can I replace just that rocker or do I have to replace the whole unit , (all 4 rockers - mirriors ect)? Anybody got what I need to fix this?

Thanks,

Peter

I have taken a rocker switch apart on a 960. It was the same configuration, mirrors and 5 switches. The 5th switch being the one that locks windows.

You will have to be careful, it has small metal studs in there that can pop out because they are spring loaded. The contacts in my switch had what looked like carbon build up. I used fine sand paper to clean the contacts and it worked great after that.
