Somehow the electric connection had fallen out of the bracket. Had to disassemble and reassemble some bits but really, maybe 3 months of mild irritation and in the end it took maybe 20 minutes to fix. There’s a lesson I don’t want to learn somewhere in there…
Same thing, window button for drivers window in my old mazda stopped working reliably, it would take a bunch of clicks and sometimes randomly would finally put the window back up. I let it go for like 6 months, finally got frustrated enough to remove the module, pry the button up, scratch off the carbon build up on the electric pad, put everything back together, and boom works fine now. Another 20 minute fix after months of frustration.
