Title: Passenger electic window packed up
Post by: Philpy on 04 June 2007, 22:07

Its always been a bit tempremental, but you used to push the button a few times and it would work. Anyway recently it doesnt move at all, but the dash lights dim a bit...... I swapped to switchs but no different. So whats the next step?

As always I look forward to you lot pointing me in the right direction  :laugh:

You could try tapping/hitting it with a hammer.

It sounds like it's stuck and drawing power [dashboard lights dim] so worth a try. As the motor is on the outside of the plastic barrier they can get wet/damp and rust.

If that doesnt work you may have to hit ebay for a new motor!

Although I bought one off ebay and it worked for all of 5 min so I'm buying two new ones when I've got the money (both of mine have packed in and it's very hot in the car!!  :angry:
