One Week It Works, The Next It Doesn’t - '21 RAV4 Window Switch Diagnosis

In this video I take a look at a customer’s 2021 Toyota RAV4 with an intermittent driver power window switch problem. When the issue acts up, every function on the driver master switch quits working, but all of the other windows still operate normally from their own door switches. Then out of nowhere the switch starts working again and may not fail for another week. Intermittent electrical problems... every technician’s favorite form of psychological warfare. I know this video is a long one, but I wanted to bring you through the entire diagnostic process from start to finish so you can see the thought process behind tracking down a problem like this. No parts darts, no guessing, just proper testing... Need access to wiring diagrams and repair info for your vehicle without breaking the bank?
