HI GUYS, WONDER IF ANYONE CAN HELP?

MY PASSENGER DOOR HAS ANNOYINGLY STARTED TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN WHEN THE OUTSIDE HANDLE IS PULLED AND THEN BACK UP ONCE THE DOOR IS SHUT? ANY HELP BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED

LOOKS LIKE YOUR CAPS LOCK IS JAMMED ON TOO!

Oops Lol apologies....

[Krikkit]

If you mean the window drops all the way down then won't it be the usual window control module? Well known cause of bother

[iow vantage]

Yep drops all the way down on pulling?/opening the door , then back up once is closed??

Not had this car, but this is my first port of call...

Make a note of radio code is required
Disconnect battery for 30mins
Connect battery, allow to reboot and see if that's cured it.

Second fix is to put in a new battery.

I had a Jag XJ that was kept flashing a gearbox fault message and going into limp home mode.
Pull over, turn engine off, restart... and it's OK again.
Couple of specialists couldn't wait to start suggesting ECU / loom investigations and gearbox overhauls...
Put a new battery in myself one Saturday morning and it never had an issue for the next few years I ran it.

Modern cars and incredibility sensitive to this. Worth a go anyway!

I didn’t have the same widow issues as you, mine wouldn’t open at all, but this procedure sorted it.

I left the fuses out overnight, just pulling them out and immediately replacing them didn’t work for me.

Also ensure that the battery is kept charged, I use a trickle charger on mine if left for more than a week unused

Many thanks I’ll give that a go

Is it worth trying the window reset ?

You had better check first, but it might be;
Lower window fully, then hold window down button for 10 secs.
Raise window fully, then hold window up button for 10 secs.

Removing the fuse and re inserting has worked

Many thanks to all

The automotive equivalent of the IT department. “Have you tried switching it off and on again”

Hi
When I had this problem a new window regulator solved the problem.
