intermittent electric windows issues and attempts to resolve

Featured Replies

Hi everyone. Got a htp 2007 model. Had no end of issues with the front electric windows. Have tried following remedies.

-passenger window stopped working and window wouldn't move and is was half way up window. Took it to an auto electric guy who found broken lead in the door bundle thing (not sure what called but by hinge of door.) Worked great for a bit.

Then drivers door didn't work. Tried replacing the double switch with one from amazon (on oem) again, worked great for a bit.

The drivers door window stopped working again. Tried same remedy of a new switch. Worked great for a bit.

Then passengers door stopped working again. Tried new passenger door switch. Worked great for a bit.

Then the other day both windows won't work at all, although lights are on on the door switches. Did a bit of googling. Saw suggestion of taking fuses out and leaving for a bit. Sort of worked. Both windows will work coming down but sometimes won't work going up. Will go up with the trick of putting the key in door lock and holding. 

Does this all point to the motor/module thing and if so where is it. Seen some photos that show it under dash and others in door.

Thank you!

With windows half open, try gently pulling upwards at back and front edge of each pane 

 

Wondering if one of the clips that hold glass to regulator mechanism is bust, meaning the glass skews a bit on its way up, offering more resistance to the motor which is then stalling out.

 

You might find there's a lot more movement where there's a broken clip.

 

Whereabouts are you?

Hi Breezy Pete. Thank you for suggestions. I have given the windows a wiggle and no movement ao thinking if trying replacing the window motor.  Managed to get serial number. Loads on ebay that are almost same number. Some same as mine but start at 70quid that sounds a lot. Thank you!
