[Peugeot-L] 505 Door Panel Re&Re

   I am in the process of taking all the door panels off and lubing things up.

   It all started when I discovered a rear window that wasn't working. I found a bad motor, and luckily I had a replacement on the shelf. It is easier than it looks to switch them out.

   One little trick that I learned when putting the panel back on is to make sure the two big phillips screws that hold the handle/armrest are in the nylon holes before you push the panel flush. You have to push down on screws slightly while the panel is loose to do that.

   I also had a dome light switch that wasn't working. There are a couple of different designs. The one that wasn't working was revived using a small wire brush. There is a contact point at the back that was covered with dirt and dust. Very easy fix. Looking through my spares, I noticed that there is one that has a different design, and instead of having mainly metal construction, it has a black plastic housing and it looks like the contact points are not accessible.

   It was kinda funny, because I was thrown for a loop for a second. After I got the light switch working again, as I was trying it, it was behaving really funny, where the light was staying on, even with the switch pushed in, then it would magically go out on it's own. Then I remembered the time delay on the light of about 30 seconds.

  I also found some plugged drain holes, which are good to check periodically.
