Hi All, I have a 2007 Fabia 2. The windows will only work after I have done the reset with the key in the drivers door. Once I have parked the car up for a while the windows won't work again until I have done the reset once more. Any ideas anyone? TIA 

Was the battery connected while it was sat up? If its disconnected it needs to relearn the windows.

Not that I know of. I've only just bought it. I can get them going if I put the key in the drivers door and turn it to the lock position for 3 seconds. They then work for that journey. After Its been parked up for a while though I have to do the drivers door but again to get them working.

 

Weird, Could some of the wires in the door be broken? Its meant to be a common issue on mk2 fabias that the loom going into the door can become damaged over time. Could be causing your problems, but i've not personally had this problem so I cant say for sure.

No worries mate, Thanks for the reply though.

It does sound like a loom issue, which is very common. Check all the little wires in both front door bellows, closely for fractures or snapped wires. 

Try testing the windows after setting the auto function, then just turn the car off, remove key and reinsert key, testing them. Then try the same with the addition of opening the door(S). Then try the same with open and closing, then locking, wait a min, unlocking. Basically, try to see where or what makes them fail and what allows the function to stay without resetting. 

You may or may not know, you can also reset them by using the window switch auto function by pressing and holding it down, once fully open hold a few seconds, then raise fully and hold again. You may find which window seems more faulty by doing that as one may function ok, one may need resetting.

Still, my guess is a broken or near broken wire that needs fixing.

Also likely is a damaged switch but its less likely then the wiring. It all too often comes back to those!

Thanks for the reply, I will try this later. I've replaced the switch but the problem remains. If no luck I have a hammer that can open windows 😁

My buttons work the opposite way. Pull up for the window to go down which is weird.

Thats clearly a fault... Perhaps someone wired up the wires the wrong way round!

God knows mate, Got a garage looking at it tomorrow so hopefully sort it
