Window Drop drivers door

[Brolly]

Hi All.
I have read about the water ingress in the boot and varying problem it causes.

I have stripped the boot lock and boot switch and they are dry as a bone with no moisture whatsoever. So that doesn't seem to be the problem.

All my issues are on the drivers door. The window does not drop when door is opened, the puddle light does not illuminate when the door opens. (works fine when you turn on the overhead switch). Also the heads up display does not show the door is open, but does if boot or passenger door or boot is open.

I expected a courtesy light switch fault but car does not appear to have 1 fitted.

All electric windows work perfectly

I have diagbox and cars shows no faults.

Love solving problems but this has me baffled

Any idea anybody.

Many thanks

Hi Neil

It is intermittent., and I have not found a solution apart from Bsi reset which temp clears it.

it will be fine for months then all of a sudden start playing up for no obvious reason

Hi there and I had the same problem with the window it's down to the regulator and not the switch I removed the switch and each time it played up unplugged the switch and worked fine until next time expensive replacement repair....

Hello, sorry for the long time in responding but where is the regulator and how do I remove it?

You have to strip off the door card etc

No more silly questions after this one. Is the regulator attach to the latch mechanism inside the door?

No it is in the motor it just clips out and if it is faulty it is down to a capacitor not holding its charge
