  1. It's just the fact it works when reset, to me that means wiring is fine as it does work it goes up and down, it just cuts out after 10 mins, using my work brain if it was an AC unit that works but stops after awhile I wouldn't be looking at a power issue (90% of the time anyway) usually it ends up being something unrelated to power, just have a feeling it's software or at the very least something wrong with the circuit board but could be wrong of course.
  2. I've checked drivers side only as from what I've been told/read the drivers side is the main control but maybe I should check passengers door etc then, just can't seem to figure out how it does work when reset but not any other time, to me doesn't sound like a wiring issue sounds more like a software issue or something, it's been very annoying to try to figure out.
  3. Yes check that voltage I did notice when not connected it drew 12volts for a split second then zero while holding the button, on the main pins from board to motor with motor detached, unsure if this is because it detects nothing drawing and stops the voltage but as I say when it's all connected up it works just not beyond 10 mins FS and sorry been in work all day so didn't get a chance to reply to you.
  4. I should note I had the multimeter out today and found voltages etc all ok, I did read across my travels that someone thought it was that capacitor on the control board on the motor that was what failed on them but unsure if this is true, I forget where I read it too as I've been on everything trying to solve this issue.
  5. They work for roughly 10-15mins totally fine up and down then at some point when I want the window up I find they don't work again, but again interrupting the power via battery or fuse or connector makes it work again but only for another 15ish minutes, so anytime I want to open or close my windows I've got to power them down and up or unlock the car with the key in the door (unsure why that works tbh but what you said earlier made sense of the microswitch almost resetting or activating them)
  6. I have been wondering if the passenger side motor would affect the driver's side considering drivers side is master, as I haven't replaced that side (that's if it even has a control circuit board like the drivers side has built into the motor) but as I say they both work when unlocked via key in the door its a very odd issue, I'm thankful I'm an AC engineer and not a car mechanic lol
  7. It is definitely complicated, surely it's been overcomplicated beyond just being able to direct current to the motor for up and down and then a safety limit should a hand be inside the frame etc but they have added all this other stuff for essentially no reason (give me a wind up window any day) Yes the replacement motor was from a fabia mk1 as far as I was told, but as you say it may have had the same issue when sold to me possibly (really hope not) Just hoping it's something stupid holding off the windows, even the window reset procedure of holding the key in the lock/unlock positions doesn't make the windows close or open as the manual would suggest and I'm not sure if this is also part of my issue or the manual is just plain wrong for my particular model.
  8. That's what I've been worried about as there isn't really any way to tell as far as I know, I put it in and the windows worked fine (because it reset with battery being disconnected) so I left it thinking I had solved it then next day noticed it wasn't working due to the whole it only working for 10-15 mins after a power down and back up, it's very odd, the motors aren't the cheapest to keep trying them especially if I don't know if they all have this issue when sold second hand.
  9. Fuse 11 in tact and blades look to be ok, this issue has has me scratching my head for months, I know an autospark will charge a tonne to diagnose and fix the issue so been determined to get to the bottom of it myself.
  10. Yes interior light comes on, and if I leave lights on and open the door it does the warning sound yes, going out to my car to check fuse 11 now but can't see it being an issue when they work fine when reset but who knows.
  11. Checked any fuses related to windows, not sure off the top of my head what fuse 11 feeds but if it's windows then yes mate, if it doesn't feed windows and feeds something else then no haven't checked.
  12. Hi there, I know this subject has been covered so so many times but nobody seems to be saying what I am so I'm posting a new one looking for help. Power windows stopped working on my Skoda fabia MK1 2005 months ago and finally getting fed up, I've replaced drivers motor and window switch already with no joy, the windows work for 10-15mins when I disconnect battery or connector to the motor, also works if I unlock the car with the key in the door yet doesn't work if I just unlock with the button on the key (odd as hell) I've also checked between the door and a frame all seems ok. Looking some advance on what to check next as I've had a look at CCU etc but no visible issues and the fact it works when reset shows me the motors work fine aswell as the window guides etc, it just stops working after a short drive which means I have to reset it to put the windows up. Ive read probably every forum I could find and have check anything I've been told to so this is the first time I've ever posted to forums. Appreciate any advice.
