passenger window

Post by themoog » Sat Jul 16, 2016 4:54 am

Last week my front passenger door got stuck shut (again). After opening it in a very secret way I took the door panel off to lubricate the offending pivot inside the door latch.
Anyway, I put it all back together but now the one touch operation on that particular window won't work which means I have to hold my finger on the button which is somewhat inconvenient.

Any ideas?

There is something going on here- one minute the auto up works, then it doesn't the next. Now I've noticed that the door won't unlock via remote. I have to press the button down. I cant stand this manual stuff.

Wiring loom!  Check the door connector to the body is fully home, clean and dry.

Fixed. Two pins on the centre connector to the window switch were slightly corroded. I wouldn't have thought it would affect the door locking.
Maybe something to check if anyone's locks pack up.

Could be a common earth or similar kind of voltage loop at a speculative guess.  Glad it was a simple fix. :)
