  1. Yep, tried that but still the same. I removed the rocker switch off the one that actually works, and there is a little plastic pin with a spring underneath that gives it the two way function. Weirdly, after putting it back, that one no longer works

  2. The one touch operation doesn't function on closing my front windows, only on opening. It's the same for driver and passenger side, so it seems strange they have both failed. I've done the usual reset by holding them down and up for five seconds, but still the same. It's a MK1 L+k with 4x electric windows. I had an almost exact same problem on a MK4 golf, and wondering if anyone else had this issue before going out and buying new switches.

    Had the same door symptoms on my mk1,turned out to be the lock microswitch. 

    Bought a purpose made microswitch off ebay for a couple of pounds and changed the switch only, everything is ok now.

    Just for reference the electrical connections on the old one were ok, it was the actual plunger part that had worn away.

    Hope this helps any future Octavia owners.

    You were lucky. I'm still waiting for the motor, just preying it's all good

    An easy thing to check is that there is no break or chafing of the wires in the conduit between the door and the body, especially near the ends.

     

    Turns out water had been getting into the 29 pin connector that goes into the window motor/regulator. Pins had corroded and snapped off into the loom. New loom cost £120, but eventually tracked down motor which is specific to the L+K Octavia second hand. Just preying it's ok when it arrives

    re-visiting an old post however felt I should add this.

    After my wifes octavia lying up for about 6 weeks after baby born we got it valeted ( it needed it ) and when I picked it up the two front elec windows were down. The guy told me the windows went 'mad' up down with no pattern until they all stopped working.

    I took it home thinking 'fuse' - but no, all fine in the fuse Dept.

    This forum indicated controller. Although B4 that I reset the windows with the key in drivers door and was delighted to see motors al working as they all closed using the convienence feature. Although soon thereafter I went out to fine the passenger window down of i own accord. Damn it ! closed it by turning key on pass door. Bed

    Next morning I went out to find central locking clicking on / off in all types of sequences and all the windows down ....! Right, disconnected -Ive batt pole , got batt charging and back onto the internet.

    Later I managed to located a connector in the foot well on either side ( driver & pass ) behind small panel near bonnt open lever. I inspected and re-seated them. Next removed drivers panel - all was dry behind it. dry dust/grime can be seen.i fiddled with the connector to the driver elec window controller and pushed it in. This seemd to fix the issue as upon reconnecting batt all was normal .....except the right elec mirror was not resonding to the driver door adjustor knob. The left mirroe is workign however ( darling wife cant rememmber if it was working originally ).

    Next day, I striped door as I had not connect door cable properly and had a closer look at the motor controller connector. See pics. I cleaned with a toothbrush and WD40. ON our Octavia, the water clearly must get in from the top of the unit and find its way down thru the unit to the connector ( and not following the cable as indicated in other posts) .

    So after cleaning and replacing , i feel the removal of teh corrosion ( and short circuits ) have fixed it for now; Sure I wil lreturn to this.

    see 2 x pics before & x after
