Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to remove and clean the window switch button on the Kia Sportage: first, remove the internal door panel, starting from the internal lock, and to do this, you will need to take off the cover and unscrew the small screw inside, then remove the handle cover and unscrew the screws located inside.

Once the panel is loose, disconnect the electric connectors of the window switch and pull out the part you need to repair, taking the button out of its housing to clean it with some degreaser/detergent.

It was just dirty, and after reassembling, it works. Put everything back in place; the repair was successful.
