2007 DB9 drivers window no longer dropping

[shuzzy]

I have done a search on this and wasn't able to find anything that helps. My drivers door window no longer drops when I open the door. In addition to this when I open the window it no longer opens in one continuous movement. Instead it drops about 15 cm and then stops, I then have to release the button and press again. This then lowers the window another 15 cm and repeat. It closes fine in one continuous movement. A few times prior to the auto drop stopping totally, the window would drop 10cm when I opened the door.

I have done the usual fixes with this, the window reset and this did nothing. I removed the door module fuse and this had no effect either. Finally I even removed the door panel and unplugged the door module from the three connector plugs. This actually made a difference and it worked correctly, until I came back to the car the next time and not working again.

My suspicion points to the door module, but before I shell out any advice would be most helpful and appreciated. Cheers

Had similar after leaving the car for a while. I found disconnect battery and leave for a while then reconnect fixed it. Could be the same?

Had exactly the same issue , tried new module , no change , your window regulator has gone , something to do with a couple of small sensors in the motor

Thanks for the replies, I'd imagine disconnecting the coor module, will have been the same as a battery reset and this did not work. I thought it was going to be the door module, but looks like there is another culprit that can cause problems. Do you have any more info on the window regulator e.g cost of job, is it a DIY job or will it need a competent professional.

Thanks

window regulator from a dealer will set you back around £250, the job itself is easy and should take less than an hour.For Aston to do the work it will cost you in the region of £540
