Just got the car back from the insurers (it was written off last week following a breakdown and bungled recovery). I had the bumper fixed back on in and got it checked over and MOT-ed yesterday.

Today the driver’s window doesn’t work. It doesn’t go up when you shut the door and is totally unresponsive if you try the switch. The passenger door is fine. It was working when I last tried it a couple of days ago, though it was a little slow.

It had sat in storage with a flat battery most of last week. I don’t know if this might have had anything to do with it or not. The original breakdown was it conking out in heavy rain and surface water - it looked like an electrical fault - but the water was in the passenger side not drivers. The alternator also needs replaced soon as the bearings are going.

Any suggestions before I try an auto electrician?

The window is completely unresponsive and won’t go down (or up) at all. The switch beeps but there’s no movement at all (or motor noise). I think I am going to try an ecu reset. otherwise it might be the window motor?

Thanks, my plan is to attempt an ECU reset first, but need to wait until I am home in daylight. I’ll report back later
