In this video we're going to show you how to replace the master power window switch on this 2000 Lincoln Town Car, the same as any '98 to '02 Town Car. It's a pretty easy process. All you need is a flat blade screwdriver. With the master power window switch, a common symptom is that you can put the windows down with their individual switches, but this switch won't control them. Many times it's caused by rain coming in, getting down in and shorting out the switch. It's pretty easy to replace; you just need a regular screw driver. You want to carefully pry up right under here. There's a clip that holds it right here. You can see mine comes right up. It's because it's already been broken. You want to pull it up and then you want to slide it forward and out.
Then let's disconnect these harnesses. They are held in by a little tab, the little U-shaped thing here. Then the tab's right underneath, so press the tab with your finger and pull the connector, down and out. Same thing with this next one, the tabs right here. The grey one, the tabs on the other side; a little harder to get to, just put your thumb up in there, press it, pull it out. Then for this white one, the tab's right there, pull it out. Now the switch itself is just held in. Here's my new one. It has four teeth and those are held into the plastic bezel. You use your screwdriver to pry out and release. Then pry on this one, release. This side of my switch is free so I go to the other side. Pry out; this is already broken a little bit. Then over here, pry out and my switch comes right out. New switch from 1A Auto goes right in. Now you can reconnect everything. Then you're going to put it back down in. You going to want to put the back down and in first and then press down and snap the front in.
We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Please feel free to call us toll-free, 888-844-3393. We're the company that's here for you on the Internet and in person.

Switch was sent and arrived on tiime. It was easy to install and is SO worth the money. If you have an older Lincoln Towncar (mine is 2001) you will need this switch at some point. Do yourself a favor, and get it from these guys.
Thank you 1A-AUTO !!
Great Purchase

Anyone who needs a1998-2002 Lincoln Town Car Master Power Window Switch should buy it from 1A AUTO for the following reasons. 1)The price of the 1A AUTO part was less than half of what I was quoted at my local parts store. 2) Even with free shipping the part arrived at my door 1or 2 days after the order was placed. And most importantly 3) the part was easy to install and works great.
Right part, right price, fast shipping

The company 1aauto treated me very well as a customer and were very fair in how they handled my purchase / exchange.
The product did not work (may have been remanufactured?). 1auto replaced it within days without requesting I first return the defective switch. The second switch failed -- I ordered the master switch because one of my rear windows wouldn't work using my original master switch. The first switch they sent worked on the window that mine didn't but now the other back window wouldn't work. The replacement switch they sent allowed both rear windows to function properly, .. only then the passenger front window would not work.
I didn't communicate with them to request a refund, simply let it go and went to another dealer to purchase a switch that worked. As mentioned the people I spoke with were polite and professional. The company policy seemed excellent. The product I purchased presumably had a manufacturers issue - not 1aauto's fault. They certainly can't test pro
Great website enabling you fix it!

If all windows worked I would give 5 stars. I can only justify 3 stars at this point.

It may very well be the master power window switch; especially if you have a 4-door and the windows only roll down from the driver's door.
