Passenger Window Not Working

[DaiTurbo]

My passenger window has stopped working, off the buttons on the door itself, and on driver's door.

It still works when you drop all four, on the centre console, and if you are operating the roof.

So it not the motor on the window itself.

Do you think this could be the regulator, as there's a few peeps on a well known auction site, saying they can fix these at a fraction of the cost of the stealers !!

PLZ LMK...

Have a look in Window Problem Poll a little further down the page you may find an answer there, doubtful at present as this is one of the more common problems with meg CC windows which we are (well a couple of us) trying to get an answer to as it seems a bit TOO common.
I don't think you have a regulator problem as al the regulator does is lift and lower you said it works from the "all windows" centre consul button so the regulator itself must be fine, The motor itself has an ECU on top and it is a 6 wire comfort system, the cable plugs into this controller which sits on top of the motor, I think general consensus seems to be the controller gets wet and something shorts inside as we seem to get a few different scenarios of this problem, windows working back to front is another one when the switch operates window to go down it goes up so some how the switch has been reversed, one clear thing has come to light though the centre consul and the door switches work on separate systems as this seems to be the common denominator one works the other does not, would be interesting to hear from someone who has had a roof fail, when it failed did your centre consul window switch stop working, as I believe the centre consul " all windows down" works from the roof system.
I seem to think the All windows button is a one touch affair (long time since I used it) as is the roof button, either drops them or lifts them no stopping, so I wonder if the "all windows" button has a straight through feed to the window motors, whilst the door buttons are 'regulated' through the control box, which could explain when the motor gets wet the door button stops working but the "all windows" button still operates as the control box has shorted but the "All windows" circuit is straight through the control box so would not in theory be affected.
Not an auto electrician so this is purely guess work, not an answer to your question I know but at present we don't one as far as I am aware, seems the fix for it is a new window regulator, question is for how long because we don't know what cause this to happen, car may need new window seals you know the long ones on top of the door, not around it, goes from the mirror to the door handle, stops water from running down the window and inside the door, basically its a strip, people that report this problem on here get a dealer fix which from what we can gather is - replaced complete window regulator, job sorted, but the reason why is not!

So is it worth me sending the regulator module off to somebody on the well known auction site, as there's a few on there that offer a repair service.

with no charge if a repair can't be made, all they charge then is postage.

Is it worth the gamble of taking door card off, and giving it a go !

You could try these people as well, as said the usual fix seems to be a new regulator, I am 90% sure the CC has the 6 wire comfort system on it so be careful what you buy, you need to ask if they repair electrical faults as most repair companies only do the mechanical side i.e cables and winders, Not seen my front window regulator yet (04 CC) but have replaced my wifes Meg 1 driver regulator which was basically all one part, runners, cables and motor, you may be able to unclip the cables and motor from the runners, but bear in mind once this is done the window is free to drop as it is the tension on the cables (and motor) that keep it up.
I removed my rear quater lite cables as they always get chewed up, but this is a differant beast, the motor and cables are fixed to a slotted plate, so once removed I was able to push window up and bolt in place through the slots to stop it dropping, you will not be able to do this, I am also guessing the window regulator for a 4 door wont fit as it will be smaller than our large doors, The above company does very good regualtors and cheap, not used them myself as they don't do rear quater lite motors but know of a few people who have used them for differant cars and give glowing reports, perhaps you could drop them an email and ask.
Ask the Ebay company what there turn around time is, you may find they will send a replacement out to you already repaired, then repair yours and send that to some one else, depends really on how they operate, but from what you say it sounds as if they actually repair your own motor, s oa turn around time would be good as your car will be open to the eliments whilst it is away unless you tape the glass up around th edoor to hold it up but still wont be secure. but if they are cheaper may be worth a try, again as said Renault seem to change the regulator to "fix" the problem nobody else has come back with a differant fix, all you get is went into dealers today, they changed regualtor and now its fixed.
If you go for the repair guys let us know how you got on and how much it cost, maybe a good option for those of us with older cars who wont get a Renault contribution or don't want to pay the dealer half the price of a house to make a window work.. I would say though you have an electrical fault not a mechanical one in tha motor, if it was mechanical then it just would not work at all from any switch and you would hear it crunching and grinding before it broke.

From what I can gather, the electronic module can be taken off the motor, and all they do is repair this.

I'm trying to gather a bit more info. Before I actually decide to send off.

Have you checked out the switch in the door before going to all the trouble of changing/repairing the controller? If not just pop out the plastic switch panel in the door by carefully prising it up from the rounded end.
You should find the switch connectors enclosed in a sort of foam type bag that needs to be unstuck from around where it overlaps the underneath of the panel.
You cant mix the connectors up as they are colour coded and you might get lucky and find it's just dirty contacts.
Try removing and replacing the connector a few times to try and clean the contacts a little then see if it has made any difference, also try waggling the wires while holding the button down in case there is a loose connection.
Of course substituting the switch for a known good one would be best if you could get hold of one.

It's not working off the switch in the passenger door or driver's door ??

Yeah should have paid more attention to your original post, probably the controller that's attached to the motor then.

If your car has not reached (I think it's) 7 years of age Renault will replace it at a heavily discounted rate.

Update

Took door card off and removed the window motor regulator.

Sent to a guy off ebay, 2 days later it was returned.

Refitted, and now got a working passenger window

HAPPY DAYS !!!!
