Guys, this may be a question better answered in the Big car section, but I will try here first. I have a 67 Tempest wagon with the rear power window. I have noticed that when I slide the button to open or close the window the power stays "on" after I let off of the switch. (similar to the auto up and down features of modern cars) I know this is not suppose to be this way, and sometimes continues to draw power. My headlights will pulsate due to this and slightly drain my battery. I end up flipping the switch the opposite direction to get it to stop. I am not much of an electrical person, but is there a relay that is going bad that would cause this? I do not believe it is my switch. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.

It sounds like the internal spring in your switch has worn out. The spring pushes the switch handle back into the neutral position

The switch looks like it returns to center, but maybe it does not. I will take a closer look at it next weekend. Thanks.

Try some electrical contact cleaner first. It could be crud built up in the switch. If that doesn't work then the switch is probably as Andre said.

There is an electrical cleaner called Deoxit you should try.Cleans,lubes,preserves.Only thing it will not get is carboned up contacts.Have to sand that off.I saved a $400 56 Buick Riv headlight switch with it.
