    I have a 02 avensis and the switch to lock the passenger door window keeps sticking, the window switches are fine, it's the lock switch, is there anything i can spray/put on it to get it moving freely with damaging the switch?

    I suppose a non-conductive spray would work. Should have it in electrics shops.

    I would try some silicone spray first.

    If you pull the button off you'll see a white square shaft type thing with a spring, if there's too much movement it'll get caught when you press it. Cleaning out the crud and lubricating the mechanism may help.
    We had to replace quite a few Corolla and Avensis master switches on warranty so It's a common problem.

    Something like this is suitable for electrical switches. Most electrical wholesalers should have them
