I was wondering what window switches besides a Buick Century would be interchangeable for this car. Mine is bad. It works but, the up and down buttons have to be pushed down really hard. Also, My headlights have just stopped working. I have park lights, blinkers, taillights, brakelights, and interior lights, but no dim headlights or brights. Just stopped working out of the blue without warning. Checked all fuses and all good. Any suggestions? I did replace the headlight switch even though the car has the automatic nightime sensor that turns lights on when dark outside. Mine obviously wasn't bad because this one does everything mine did. However when I pull back on the dimmer switch, the bright lights come on when held back. Also the wiring going to the headlights are both positive right now when the lights are on.

Hi:
Do you mean you have power to the lights when they are not on?
