306 Electric window problem

[Jon (archive)]

The drivers door electric windows drop facility will only work intermittently. Anyone got any ideas please?

TIA

May be a broken wire where the wire comes from the car and into the door, or the switch.
Regards, mark.

It is probably the switch contacts. Although the wiring from the door to the car is know to break.

The switch is fairly easy to clean. use a thin screwdriver or knife to ease the switch unit out of the panel. Disconect the leads (they are keyed so you do not have to remember where they go).

Then take the bottom section of the switch off (watch out for the mirror positioner spring it can come flying out). There is a circuit board just clean the contacts under the rubber cover. reverse this to put it back in.

Fairly easy 1 spanner difficulty. About 20 minutes in total. You can test the switch befor you put it back in to see if it has worked.

When you disconnect the battery or when it brake's down with the window open, you get this problem.

You have to reset the computer.

Disconnect the battery again for a few seconds with the window closed.

Your problem should been solved.
