Doors and windows Fubared again!
Discussion
Last year I sorted all of the door and window problems on my Cerb and they've been fine for agaes... Until now!
Passenger door won't open from inside.
Drivers door won't open from outside.
Drivers window won't open/close 2 inches when opening/closing door (it's stuck at the 2 inch down position.
Drivers window won't auto close when locking door!
I don't have my wiring diagrams here so does anyone know of one common thing for the above problems? I need to get the window shut before the rain comes!

The only cure for these problems I've found lives about 8 miles from you.Logic says that there is a common denominator for all these symptoms! Mind you, is is very little that is logical about TVR wiring!

Have you tried unplugging the door/window control box for a few minutes? Might need to stick a finger in your ear and hop about while singing the Top Gear theme tune, although this only worked once for me
Strange thing... Last year, when I had some other problems, just unplugging one of the connectors on the box had the effect of making both windows wind up to the top. Doesn't happen now! Anyway, I've armed myself with an allen key, emery cloth, contact cleaner, silicon grease and a DVM and am heading down to the car park!
Had similar issue the other week; outer door button stopped working but inner door button worked.
Inner and outer door buttons on seperate circuit. The problem with mine was the multiplug in the door, usual corrosion due to water ingress. Sprayed with wd40 and been fine since. You could also spray the multiplugs going into the door control box

All sorted! Quite simple yet quite confusing!
Passenger door inside switch... Corroded connector, both male and female pins corroded right through!
Drivers door outside switch... Corroded connector, one pin in the connector corroded right through!
Drivers window... Reed switch sensor connector corrosion, cleaned with contact cleaner. I assume that the system decided the door was open so would not let window go right to the top!
The strange thing is that all three failed at about the same time??!!
I've jury-rigged it for now. Will get some plastic mil-spec connectors tomorrow, that'll prevent any recuurence of the problem!
Thanks for the input guys!
