passenger side (NS)window has packed up without warning. I've tried swapping NS fuses for both OS for both door ECU connections to no avail.
the wires appear to be attached into back of the switch panel
Anyone a clue where to check next; could it be another dang ribbon cable?

Could be the button itself, mine often stay stuck in?
both buttons appear to be able to be depressed.

I've got the switch out-one of the easier jobs on a tvr- and will take into work tomorrow for full checking, though I suspect its not a fault as it "clicks" when pressed. if it aint this then whats next?

Does the window drop when you open the door? Might limit your areas of enquiry.
Tony, it doesn't budge. the window is (thankfully) in the fully up position.
I've had the switch out and its had a proper cleaning, as I suspected it wasn't the switch unit.
my next job will be door card off and check I've power to the motor.
Would anyone else care to hazard a guess?

Yeah, I'll do that; TBH I'm off this week, weather is glorious so I'm doing my best to get a mention in the spotted TVRs section!
if I take it out, I think it paralyses the boot opening so I've left in place whilst I enjoy the car! more miles this week than ever with it. cheers for the feedback, gents.
