Hi

 

My daughter has just acquired a 57 plate fabia mk 2. only issue is the windows. The driver window operates the opposite way to the switch. eg you press down and it goes up and vica versa. Passenger window works ok.

 

Also, if i shut the drivers window up fully, overnight on its own accord it will lower about a third!  i have a temp workaround for this issue, dont shut the windows tight, lower a millimetre and they stay put.

 

Ive had all the switches, door panels off, checked wiring looms, checked wires in rubber gaiter hinge. I cant find anything out of place.

 

Im aware there was a previuos post with the same issue but there wasnt a resolution mentioned. i have requested an update but the thread was 3 years ago.

 

please help as its disappointing for my daughter.

 

thanks in advance for any responses

Either the switches are wired the wrong way around or more likely the motor itself. Does the passenger window operate correctly from the buttons at the drivers door?

ive had the switch in pieces, all seems to be correct.  yep, the passenger window works fine from the drivers door switch.

 

the drivers door motor has the circuit board connected to it inside a black case. i was going to run a temp wire connection to the motor from the pcb terminals and see if i can reverse the operation that way and bring it back to the correct method. unfortunately, i have run out of daylight tonight.

 

ive since noticed that if the passenger window is fullup and the car locked is that when i unlock the car the passenger window goes down 2 inches?

 

all very bizarre to be honest.
