Hi there. I have a 2005 Skoda Fabia, and my front windows stopped working. For a while, the reset function of pulling the top plug in door boot worked but only temporarily until the quit completely. I found this was a motor issue in the drivers door, which I have since replaced (Used motor) and they started to work again. Although they work now, the switch on the driver's side for the passenger windows doesn't work at all. Also they switch off after a short while, and only way to reactivate them is using the physical door key to the unlock position on driver's door. Anyone else having this problem? 

Check fuse 11, top row, right hand one of the four.

Fuse 11 is for heated mirrors. My car has the fuse, but not heated or electric adjust mirrors. Fuse is still intact

Fuse 11 is also for electric windows in the later version that you have where there are just two connectors going onto the drivers side motor module.   It would be good to check that the (ignition on) supply from that  fuse is making it to the motor module (black/blue wire on pin 2 of the 6-way connector at the module)

 

Was the secondhand drivers side module you fitted an identical part number? Do you have a photo of the part number label from it?

It is from exactly same model of car. I just replaced the whole motor

That should be right then, unless someone had fitted a wrong part number into the donor car. See edit to my previous post, about checking the fuse 11 supply makes it to the motor module. 

If the bellows at the a-pillar has been on and off a lot, there may have been water damage to the connectors that it waterproofs, if it no longer fits snugly?

if i use the key to unlock the door, the windows work again for a while. Bellows in pillars are both in snug

They should work once ignition is on too (even without key in lock action), hence the suggestion to check that fuse 11 feed.

will check that tomoro, thanks

Grab a photo of the part number label while you're in there.  

Do you still have the original module?

Oh, one more question- if you hold the key fully turned in the unlock position for a few seconds (with door locked initially), do both windows start descending?
