Anyone had probs with the electric windows on a T350? My offside window only responds to about 1 in 10 presses on the down button, then immediately goes up again. Also it doesn't drop the required inch when I open the door so I have to persuade the down button to work, then open the door quickly before the window goes up on its own. Oh, and, yes there's more: All the time, even when fully up, the electric pulse is going about every 6 seconds trying to shut the window even though it's fully closed. And the up button doesn't work. Had something similar on the Tam.
The car is new, so I can take it to the dealer. Any DIY fix available?

There is a control box for each window in the respective footwell. Small black box. Try swapping them over to see if that is the (probable) fault.

I wouldn't even go there - you've just paid a fortune for a car and you're talking about doing DIY on it?

My passenger window behaved in a similar manner on my Tamora (both windows on my Tuscan). Both times it was a quickish fix by the dealer - removed the faulty control box and replaced it with one that worked properly.

It's possible for the down/up button to stay pressed in..

Make sure it's not stuck otherwise you will get the symptoms you describe.

Cheers. I am off to the dealer later this week, and will keep my oily fingers away from temptation!

Postscript: The up button was stuck! All sorted.

Hi mate, I ve got the same prob on my Tamora. How did you unstick it? Did you take apart the window switch panel?

Hi there. As mine is under warranty, it was a dealer job. Their first option was to replace the switch unit, but as none was in stock, they dismantled and reassembled the existing one. I think that the up button needed reseating. That was all. Been fine since.
