Dodgy electric windows

Postby CJT » Fri Nov 02, 2007 7:24 pm

Don't know if anyone can help with my window problem, I noticed today the passenger front electric window has packed up, no clicking or anything just dead. Just went out in the car and the back windows have started acting funny as well, they will work but are only going up or down a couple of inches at a time and will not close when using the key card when locking the car. The front drivers side also did this but only briefly and now seems to be ok. Any ideas anyone or is this yet another trip to the dealers (out of warranty).

Problems so far: 2 x Ignition coils (1 replaced under warranty)
Dephaser pulley (replaced under warranty)
3 Cracked exterior door handles (all replaced for half
price by dealer, out of warranty)


Cheers everyone

I don't have a solution but I'm facing the same problem. My drivers side window works correctly. All the rest are only moving a few inches per press of the button. It doesn't matter do I press the corresponding button on the drivers console or the button on the door itself.

hi i had a similar problem with my rear windows
i disconected battery for fitting new head unit
if you have full closure with alarm turn on ignition and hold the window switch up count to 5 then release that resets it do same with next one
as to the front give it a try
hope this helps

Not sure if it'll help but i've read in other posts that there is a way of resetting the windows. It's something like holding both front switches in closed position for 10 seconds. Not sure if ignition needs to be on or off. Worth a try before anyone looks at it.

The procedure for resetting your electric windows is detailed in your owners manual.
