Hi All My front passenger window will not go up or down, either when using the switch or when opening the door. If you use the switch, you can here a relay click but the window doesn't move. Is this a common fault? Is there any point in particular I should start my investigation? |

It has been mentioned to me in the past that there is a common fault in the door motor unit. I can supply one from a spares car if you need it. Beer tokens will be required! | ||

Same issue on my car. Taking the door to bits achieved nothing in my case. But disconnecting and reconnecting the cable between the door and the A-pillar did. Disconnect; blast with contact cleaner; reconnect... then repeat process several times to be sure. It would seem that signal wire connection was intact - hence the audible activating click. But the main power supply wire to the motor had gone high-resistance. nb. to separate the connector, the light-grey collar needs to be prised upwards by about 1cm. Something like a cranked large-flat-blade screwdriver under the top tab should do the trick. |

Hi guys - especially sotweedfactor! I had the same problem, Relay click and all, and was stuck with an open window. I removed, cleaned and replaced the door cabling socket, which made it worse 2 times (window lowered 1cm on reconnection), and then finally worked after 3 or 4 cycles. Thank you! Tip - replacing the plug was very tricky as the grey clip had sunk a little, and needs to be fully up on presentation of the plug, then pushing the grey clip down is what pulls the plug snugly up to the socket. That was a frustrating 20 minutes.... |
