As above. The electric window switch in driver's door doesnt operate either the driver or passenger electric window. However, the switch in the passenger door does work for the passenger electric window. I've checked the fuses and all relevant ones seem OK. The remote (which I cvan usually use to open and close both front electric windows now doesnt work either. Any ideas?

additional info

Sorted (well, I know what to do - wires broken in door). Cant delete post so....

Yep, with mk2 Fabia and Roomster, always the most likely problem.

Thanks. At least I dont need a new (expensive) part. Having said that, joining the wrires back together looks like a nightmare. Silly question, but, on first look, I can see at least 2 "dead ends" - I assume any "dead end" needs to be reconnected. (I have tried to find a picture/diagram of the relevant wiring - but no luck yet)

Dead ends will be broken wires, unless you just mean apparently unused positions in the connector?

 

It's surprisingly easy to remove the door entirely. 

Unplug connector,  one XZN screw for the check-strap, two 13mm nuts one in each hinge. Would make access for repair massively better.

 

Nearly did that myself last weekend on a Roomster,  but there was only two busted wires, so I carried on in that horrible cramped space.

I have exactly the same issue. I have checked and repaired broken wires at the drivers door and have checked the continuity on all the wires. I cant find any breaks. 

 

The passengers side window works from the passenger side switch and both work with the key in the door lock. Neither window works from the dual switch on the driver side. I have assumed this is a fault with the switch and have ordered a new one as they are not expensive. Is there anything else that it could be? Is there an ECU controlling the windows, or does the fact that they work with the key point to the switch?

Check strap: Am I right in saying its the end that connects to the body (single connection), rather than the end that attaches to the door (double connection)y, that needs to be removed, as part of door removal?

correction, having checked car

Yes, single XZN (not Torx).

M8 size from memory.
