Fabia passenger elec window randomly operating

Featured Replies

I have a 2008 Fabia 1.4 with front electric windows. The passenger side keeps opening randomly. I thought it might be because I did a tear-down of the driver side switch ages ago. I disconnected it but that didn’t remedy it. I’ve checked the seal, in case something was causing pressure and making it open. If I leave it down, it randomly goes up as well though. Definitely electrical. I removed both switches and it’s still doing it. Looking on google and YouTube, I think it might be the wires going to the door. It sometimes won’t operate until opening and shutting the door. If the wires have come bare and are touching metal, would this cause this? I’m thinking of pulling the fuse until warmer weather. Is there a dedicated fuse for this? If so, which is the number please? I looked in my Haynes manual and it was no help

windows are often a pain due to wires broken in the loo. Usually they won't work, tho but I would not put malfunctioning out of the equation.

Yeah, I’ve pulled the fuse. Didn’t realise it has a key, to which fuse is for what, on the fuse box cover. I’ll lengthen / replace the wires when it gets to warmer weather. Said -1.5°C this morning. Car doors were iced shut and everything. So glad I found which fuse it was. The Haynes manual wasn’t that great in telling me this. Happy for now 😊
