    Window lock-out button not working?

    I want to disable the passenger window button.
    The button on the right side.
    It is not working.
    Common culprits?
    Am I using it wrong?

    Are you trying to lock out the front or rear right?
    The rears not locking out, likely a new part needed.
    The front not locking, you aren’t using it correctly.
    Safety switch
    With the safety switch, you can prevent the rear windows from being opened or closed via the switch in the rear pas- senger area (by children, for example

    On my car, only the rears can be disabled.

    OnTheFence,
    If you're dog is riding shotgun, then you're just plain dumb. Regardless of the size of your dog, big or small, your dog needs to have some sort of restraint, lest it fly through the windshield when you have to do some sort of emergency braking. Tell me you have a harness for it. Even then . . .
    With the wagon it's easy. Dog rides in the rear with the mesh thingy up.

    I think our little dogs would be harmed before the pinch gizmo recognized so they only get to sniff the wind if the seat is occupied and Mrs. Ross covers the switch.
    Any solution for tiny paws standing on the emergency flashers switch?

    I was thinking of making a cover for it and the door lock button. That and disabling the interior motion sensor. They always set that off.

    I gave up on the motion sensor and just double lock the car which turns the alarm off. Anybody who wants this elderly car will have to face the wrath of an 8# Italian Greyhound.
