    My window switches are starting to go out intermittently. I see a few aftermarket replacements, but does anyone have any particular ones they recommend?

    Thanks!

    There sure I've seen posts where people take them apart and clean the contacts on them, and they're good to go again...

    Dig around Fleabay and you'll find them, one of the first things I swapped out on mine was the mirror control switch. Contacts were all burnt. What you will find is these switches for about the same year are all the same for Toyota (Rav4, Corolla, etc.). I think mine was advertised as a Corolla switch, and it was at least $10 cheaper than the Tacoma ones I found.

    My aliexpress switches seem to be working great, I had to bend the pins a little for better contact to the connector, but now I have auto down AND up on the driver side! I wish they could make one that does that for the passenger side too. The AUTO backlight is green though but that is a very minor issue.
