Rear Electric Window Problems

Featured Replies

Hi,

I have an Octavia SLXi 1999, a couple of days ago when I was deicing the car I accidently pushed the electric window button on the drivers door to put the nearside rear window down but nothing happened. Since then all other windows work except the nearside rear window. If I have the lights on you can see the other windows drawing power but the rear one does not, additionally if I stand next to the door, I can hear a faint click when pushing the switch on the door, whether its the switch or not making that sound I do not know, either way I cannot get the window to open.

Any ideas?

Regards

Jon

I have this same problem but it won't go done on the drivers door control but will do on the switch on the rear door don't have any Idea what it is thou! Any help please.

Check for broken wires where the loom passes into the B post.

Id go with what fordfan says as i had th same problem it was broken wires where the wires go from the door into the B Pillar, also had it on both sides of the front doors aswell, break in wiring will cause this.

Turned out it was the motor, off to the scrappy tomorrow to try and salvage another one.

Thanks for the advice, just spent hours in the snow trying to fix it, damn doors lol

I thought mine was the motor as i was still getting the clicking sound when pressing the button i ended up buying a new motor mechanism then found it was the bloody wires, like you say doors.

Hi all!

Firstly, please forgive me for my bad English, I'm Hungarian.

So..., I have an Octavia Tour. It has 2 electric windows (in the front doors). Can anybody tell me that my central convenience modul (J393) is able to handle four electic windows?

If I buy rear electric window mechanisms with motors and switches(J388, J389), and so buy the switch-panel in the driver's door (for 4 windows), can it be operable?

Thanks for your advice.
