a98pmalcolm Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Ok. Strange problem happened today and I cant seem to resolve the issue. I drove to work this morning with the window down. Got to work. Rolled the window up. Nothing out the ordinary. But when I finished work and got into my car the drivers window wont go down. Completely lifeless. Tested the passenger one and thats fine. I checked all fuses on the off chance and there all ok, and the switch L.E.D is on so power is getting to the switch. When pushing the switch you hear the click so power is defiantly getting the the switch (when the ignition is off there is no click sound in the switch) So I took my door card off and the motor is all plugged in ok. When flicking the switch the door card off I rested my hand against the motor to see if I can feel any movement or vibration. Nope dead.. Now, were the car was parked today the sun would had been beaming all day on the driver door. Could it be the motor got to hot and will cool down and all will be ok tomorrow? Or has anyone heard of anything like this? Thanks Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soopra Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Maybe the heat has unsoldered something if that's even possible...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Maybe your motor has just burnt out mate. Should be easy enough to get a new one pretty cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slicknick Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Try unplugging the connector to the window motor, put a mulitimeter on the pins, when you push the switch up it should read 12v, when you push it down -12v or visa versa, that will tell you if its the switch or the motor. If it is the motor/ regulator that has gone I have a spare in the garage, i had a similar problem and turned out to be the switch so didnt need the spare motor.

L18msy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Try it with door open and closed and even give the wires going into the door from the A post a wiggle just incase there is a break in the wire. Had a problem like this last week with a customers car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
