More than puzzled now. Spent Wednesday changing drivers door lock---put all fuses back in on completion and everything worked ok. Four times in next five hours I unlocked car---all flashers worked--interior light worked----started engine and electric windows worked--locked car---all flashers worked. Thursday morning exercise repeated and ditto--all great. Full of confidence I fitted door card .and at teatime repeated previous exercise and all good This morning unlocked car---no flashers and no interior light---started engine and no electric windows. Removed fuses for two hours and on putting them back in all worked ok ---only to go back to square one after a run to the shops. Am I frustrated or what!!! Any advise where to look next very much appreciated

Hi to all. Decided to try and find a used lock so can manage to run around with door card off till then. I did get some contact cleaner from Halfords and do a proper clean up of all plugs and pins but still same problems persist. Have used two mirrors and got the exact part numbers off the rear of the existing lock.One more question if I may please. Prior to removing the lock mechanism do I have to remove the lock barrel?. I have removed the two plugs from door inner edge and there are two screws. If I remove these two will the barrel come out along with the black surrounding plastic cover? Thanks and sorry to keep coming back

Hi Folks, Been laid low with a stomach bug hence delay in replying. Ok clearly got the message that this 70 year old duffer should not have used WD40. Now please what can I use to clear up the problem--how to degrease the plugs??. Anyway at least learnt a little more today--if the indicators flash when unlocking the car with key then the electric windows work ok. If the indicators flash when locking with key then the key can be held to operate the windows. However if on unlocking the indicators do not flash then electric windows will not work!! Does this indicate where the fault could lie?? Door lock perhaps?? Any assistance greatly appreciated--todays pension rates rule out the services of a garage.

Hi Tattyjay My problem is no windows will work unless I do the "fuses out--wait--fuses in" exercise. Weather has not been a factor .I have finished playing with the car for today but I have left all plugs off for the night having sprayed them with wd40 . I have also liberally sprayed the door lock with wd40 both sides as best I can without removing the lock from the door. My understanding rightly or wrongly is that the passenger window is fed from the drivers door electrics---which of your front doors was full in the sun to cause the failure?

Hi again. Previously posted in Fab 1 but car is very late 2007 and seems to be Fab 2 Still got door card off and seeking solutions and seeking help please. Have bought and fitted new fuses and have thoroughly cleaned and silicone sprayed the glass on both sides. The only way to have working front electric windows is by taking fuses out for 30 minutes and then they both work a treat with engine running. whilst operating them I have played with the wires at all points including at the hinged point with the multiplug with the rubber boot pulled back. Will both work all day until I switch off engine and then neither work. Seems that something is resetting???. Can anyone please advise my next place to look. I would be grateful for any help. I have looked through many many posts but not found anything that has assisted me.

Replying to my own previous [post. Has anyone ever tried to run a separate feed from the fuse box to the electric window switch so that the windows always work when the ignition is on.

Looking for help please with my 57 reg fabia. Spent hours trying all recommended options as per the many posts on this problem. If I take out the fuses for electric windows for an hour--then start engine and replace fuses the electric windows will work for hundreds of miles. However if I stop and turn off the engine and lock the car when I return the electric windows are dead. If I want working windows for the return journey I have to repeat the procedure. Looking for advice on which part to replace please

So so sorry. Skoda favorit 1995 1.3 mpi

Havefitted replacement throttle body but still having same problem. Something at 2000revs-either fuel or spark deprivation-whatever the gear causing total flat spot under normal acceleration. okay on extreme gentle acceleration. disconnected battery for several hours but still same on reconnection. Extremely difficult to start despite knowing fuel and spark available. Anybody experienced similar problems. Quite stuck as to what else to do. If manage to get over the 2000revs stage can then drive quite normally and get no flat spot on acceleration say from 3000 to 400 revs.What could be happening just at this one point under load?

Hi again, Found out my problem is the Throttle Body. Does anyone have one for sale
