Faulty window
Hi guys,
I have a problem with drivers side electric window. it goes down fine, but it doesnt go back up. I have to fiddle with the switch for a while, push it down, then up quickly to get it to go. Is it the switxh or something else thats faulty?

Re: Faulty window
Stripped it. The relay box doesnt click on the up movement. eventually it does and the window goes up. any ideas how much the new relay is?

Re: Faulty window
Its your window switch that is making kak strip that and use sand paper to clean the contacts

Re: Faulty window
Well i opened both up and cleaned them out with sandpaper and an electronic cleaner spray, still no joy. Going to have to look at replacing them. I will test a second hand one first and see which is faulty

Re: Faulty window
new box lol they are gold if you find them
like Grant said solder all joints even if they look good solder them
the capacitors legs break loose and you dont always see it

Re: Faulty window
Its just the drivers side door that doesnt work. The passenger window works perfectly
