Hello all,

 

We have a 2002 Suburban 1500 vehicle. Somestimes the drivers side window will not go back up when the raise button is pushed. When it does this we have to hit the button repeatly and the window will finally go back up. Most of the time the window operates as designed. Where do we start? I suspect the switch itself. Is it replaceable? How do we replace the switch? Please Help!

I am fighting this battle with my 99!! First thing I changed was window motor put new one it and it worked 4 or 5 times before it would not work, I could slam door sometimes and it would work, so I thought it must be switch, so I ordered one and replaced it, after working on it a time or two you leave the window out of the track to make it easier to work with and after putting the new switch in it worked so I started to raise it to put the window back on track and it will not work at all now. Using trouble light I can make the other window go up and down, but not drivers side. I can find other hot wires to the switch panel but dont know where they go and have not found a digram for it yet. Good luck if you find anything let me know. :lol:

If you suspect the switch, try swapping it out with one from the other door(s). It might take some creative engineering, but they usually fit just for a simple test. I have done this numerous times with GM cars. If it works, then you know it is the switch, and you can replace it accordingly. If it doesn't, start looking at the regulator/motor and related wiring.

Thanks for all the helpful information. Does any one have any idea on how to

disassemble the door panel to get to the switch panel in the arm rest? I have

not done this before and would appreciate any help that you might be able to

give us.

 

Thanks, in advance, for all your help!

A lot of the time on higher milage vehicles (a relative term). Vehicles where the doors have been open and close a lot. You can have a broken wire inside the boot between the door and the A pillar. Have repaired quite a few with a these.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
