I am having intermittent problems with my one touch windows on the drivers side. The passenger side works ok, what`s happening is the opening of both windows using the drivers control stops working, I can get them to go down holding the button, but not using the one touch. They will go back up using the one touch. I tried resetting them using the guide on here and it did not work, I then booked it in to the garage and when I tried today they seem to be working again. This has been going on for a few weeks in the it works for a bit then stops, then works again

 

 

Anyone with ideas of what the problem could be.

need resetting I think. See this post

still having problems with the windows, seems to work fine up until it rains heavily, then the drivers switch stops working properly, the windows go down sometimes, then don't, or they go down and wont go back up. After a few days it then starts working again. Looks like the rain is the problem, but I don't know where to look.

Chas, quite often this is caused by the window concerned experiencing undue amounts of friction within the door frame rubbers/seals. This confuses the one touch into thinking something is blocking the window and it needs to stop (that's how it's designed). It may also not function at all on some occasions. All you need to do is lubricate the sliding area with some silicone spray. Then let the window go up and down a few times and it should be ok. Incidentally, this lubrication thing is something that we should all do from time to time as per the owners manual. Do not use an oil based lubricant. Only silicone or some other rubber lube.

 

Edit: after the lube operation which you should do to both windows at the front, you may need to reset the window operating parameters, after which you will have no more trouble. By that I mean the holding the button in to make the window go down. Once down continue to hold the button in the down position for 2-3 seconds (window mechanism will click) and then release. Immediately hold the button in making the window go up. Once fully up, continue to hold the button for another 2-3 seconds and then release. This sets the operating parameters and everything will work as normal. I recommend doing this with the engine running at idle, as there is evidence this makes a difference.

thanks for you help, I think its something to do with the switch itself rather than the window. I think this as if I try to operate the passenger window using the drivers switch it wont go down or one touch des not work, but if I use the switch in the passenger door it works fine and one touch works fine, I try the drivers switch and it does not work. I have it booked in now to see what they say, its working now but yesterday it would not work at all.
