Can anyone throw any light on this window problem. Came through some floods yesterday. Didn't look too bad at first, but were actually a bit worse than I thought - I really shouldn't have gone through. However, went very slowly and got through ok - apart from one thing. That is that now the driver's side window won't move - passenger ok, although that wasn't at first. Any clues/pointers before I have to seriously delve into it?

Hi,

The first thing to check, are there any fuses blow? Other than that, I haven’t any positive ideas🤞

Thanks. Yes, I should think that's the best place to start. I'll check that first - although not sure which fuse is which.

All the fuses are ok - unless I've missed some! Looks like it could a tricky problem. It really was stupid of me to go through that water.

It seems that the flood thing was just a coincidence. After some detailed checking I removed the large sleeve that covers the wiring to the driver's door from the rest of the car. There I found one wire completely broken and several others on the point of breaking. I soldered in a short link on all of them and covered all the joints with heat shrink. The windows now work perfectly. The problem I have now is getting the sleeve/grommet back into place. I've given up for now, but I'll try again tomorrow.

I know what you mean re that grommet. Glad you found the cause though. I took the stay that stops the door from opening too far off to get door opened a little more to give me a bit more space. Still tricky but managed it.

I'll try that. Many thanks.
