Window stuck open

[notax]

Driving to work today I made the mistake of thinking it had been a long time since my Chim had let me down. Once at work found that the drivers window won't budge Bit of a sod as it is stuck fully open...

Passenger window is fine, so presumably not a fuse? Can't hear motor working at all. Is it likely to be the switch? Any way I can tell easily? Thanks.

Check fuse box first, then you'll have to take door card out to access connectors etc

Happens to me all the time maybe you have the same problem. Basically the connector in the door isnt very tight and gradually works loose. It looks like its attached but if I pull it off and put it back on hey presto window works.

The good news is that this connector is directly behind the door speaker. pop the grille off, remove the speaker and you will find the connector onto the winder motor. Unplug then plug back in see if it works.

Easiest thing to check is the window switch. Swap driver and passenger side over and see if the fault moves with switch.
Then check fuses if drivers window still does not work.
Then cheap cr*py connectors inside the door panel.Let us know the outcome.

Cheers

Another possibility is the control switch, as they are in direct line to the heater outlet, the hot cold hot cold loosens the connector at the back. I have the same problem, pulled out the swithc and remade the connection then working OK.

Thanks - as soon as i can get away from my desk I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the advice and I'll let you know the outcome later!

Check Fuse, swap switches,remove speaker and you will find window motor behind all as above however it may well be the wire bundle running between the door and body.open door and fiddle with bundle whilst fingering switch up and down.I'd check that before the above three,might save you alot of time and energy.
