Hi all. A few months ago I posted wrt an issue on my driver's door window on my Skoda Roomster which was going up and down by itself. I sort of fixed it by taking apart the motor and spraying switch cleaner onto the tracks and so far there have been no further issues with this window. HOWEVER, yesterday the OTHER 3 electric windows (i.e. passenger and rear windows) stopped working - just seemingly completely dead and will not respond to their own control or to the driver's door controls. Weirdly, the driver's door window is fine! I haven't taken anything apart yet as I was wondering what to try first. Any suggestions gratefully received! Cheers. Tom.

Check for broken wires in driver's door bellows. Specifically a grey/white wire into pin 5 of the 28-way connector at A-pillar.

Apologies for my ignorance but what is an A-Pillar?

The bit of the car that the front door hinges bolt onto.

Thanks - got it. I'll have a look.

I've taken the door trim off. Do I have to get the speaker off (seems to be riveted on) in order to access the wires that go through the bellows or is it possible to get the bellows off from the outside? Bit worried about forcing it off and not being able to reattach...! (Cheers for your prompt help btw!)

Btw is there a wiring diagram for the window system for a roomster? I'm struggling to find one online.

Actually I've managed to detach the bellows where it connects to the body and you are correct! The white and grey wire is severed. Also there is a blue wire and a blue and brown wire also severed. I can't see the other end of the grey one so I'm going to have to get the speaker off to get to it. Is it ok to just solder in a bit of wire and heat shrink to fix this? I don't really understand how this has happened - its weird!

Ok managed to reconnect the white and grey with solder and heat shrink. The windows are working fine now - thanks so much Pete! Have left the other two severed wires - brown and blue and blue only - as I have things to do but will come back to them at some later date. ANy idea what these one do and whether they are important?

Will try to look up what those other wires do tomorrow some time.

The wires break because that section of the door loom has to bend back and forth each time the door opens.

Mk1 Fabia had a much better design where the bellows has a vertical dogleg, meaning that there's a combination of movements including twisting, which is less harsh on the wires.

Almost everything Skoda have made since then seems to just take the shortest route straight across, and they all seem to suffer from premature loom failure as a result.

Thanks so much for your help once again!

Looks like those two wires may be the loudspeaker on the door.

May or may not be important to you.

Ah thanks. Not major important. I actually ripped the speaker out by drilling through the rivets as I mistakenly believed that would be the best way to get to the broken wiring so there is no speaker anyway atm and I have to find a way to reattach it without a rivet gun.
