Drivers Front Window (elec)

[ricaxy]

Hi Guys, just like to say a big hello to you all on here and look forward to some chatty chatty with you.

i wonder if any of you have had this problem and if so could you help me out please.

i have a 1995 GLX it aint too bad but got a few niggles with it,

first to get sorted is the drivers side front elec window, the actual switch dont do much, if i sit in the car with engine running and try to open window - NOTHING - the revs drop slightly and you can see that there is some load on engine but no movement in window, when i turn off engine (hey presto) it opens, but if i turn off the engine with the drivers door open it stays shut, ANY IDEAS please getting on my pip now, thanks i await for some good news hopefully.

Hi gregers, yes mate ive looked there first thing i done after reading previous posts on window probs,they

just dont seem to cover the problem im having, there are no cracked or chaffed wires there which made

me wonder if there was any other causes, i have got power there and as i say works diferent when door

is open and when door is closed it is a strange one, so if you know of anything it might be il be very

interested to here about it.

cheers and hope to here something that is a possible cure.

does the global closing work?

it might be the switch after all but it has been known that although the wires look ok in the area of the rubber boot there is a possibility that the wire/s are frade and could just be touching every now and then?
