Hi all, A positive update for everyone. Happy to report I managed to fix this yesterday! I popped the switch out of the car and then removed it from the housing. Inside was a silicone cover with some contacts and a circuit board. There were a few black dots on the contacts, corrosion I assume? I used some isopropyl alcohol and cleaned both the silicone cover and the circuit board, then sprayed the board with the Servisol Super 10 (Kontakt) switch lubricant. Let it dry out then put the switch back together and back into the car. Worked instantly! Like I said before, I don't know cars or electrics but hopefully I've used the correct terms with how I've described it. I've attached two photos of the bits before I cleaned them if anyone is interested or it helps anyone in the future. Thank you to everyone that commented, really appreciate the input.

@nta16 Thanks for the response. I'm not a car person at all so not got much further than taking the door panel off. We’ve tried lubricating the rubber channels but it’s not made a difference. It’s a lift and hold switch. Car battery hasn’t been disconnected for a long time, certainly not within the last few months. I've ordered some Servisol so will give that a go when it arrives. Thanks.

Hi, My partner has a Skoda Fabia Mk3 2016 and in the last two months we've had a problem where the driver (right side) electric window will go down without issue, but does nothing when attempting to bring it back up. It is slightly intermittent. 99% of the time attempting to bring it up doesn't work, but 1% of the time it will kick into action and work again. I took the door panel off with my dad yesterday and we can see/hear the motor moving when pressing the switch to bring the window down, but the motor doesn't do anything when pulling the switch back up. I've attached a video of us pressing it down first, then pulling it back up. The passenger window on the left side works fine using the switch immediately next to the one that doesn't seem to do anything in the driver's door. Anyone seen this before? I'd have thought if there was a problem with the motor it wouldn't go down either? So is this a problem with the switch? The wiring to the switch? Or something else? Thanks IMG_7775.mov
