Mk3 Golf driver's electric window fault.

[moffspeed]

Trawling about on Ebay last weekend after a couple of glasses of wine, you know what happens....

The following morning find myself the proud owner of a very cheap Mk3 Golf. I've now confessed to the wife and picked it up - its in very nice condition other than an inoperative driver's door electric window - no clicks, no movement - nothing.

So I've some spare time tomorrrow and will investigate - but give me a clue - switch, regulator or motor ?

Could be any of them but check the wiring in the door hinge first!

Yep, broken wire between door and body of car. Common problem.

OK, so the plan today was to spend a few hours and a few quid stripping a motor/regulator out of a Mk3 at the scrappy and then bloodying my knuckles transplanting it into my "new" car - it turns out that this wouldn't have helped anyway.

Instead of that it took 10 minutes to open up the door hinge wiring boot and reunite the 2 ends of a sad and severed brown wire - sorted !

Mr V - next time you're down in Kent let me know - I owe you a large beer.
