if the door e/window switches seem to be working i would take a look at the wires in the door boots to see if they have frayed etc and shorting out?

had a good think about this and its got me puzzeled so first thoughts were motor wires wrong way round or the wires have been repaired incorrectly in door boots as windows are controlled by central unit with global closing.

my simple fix would be pull motor out and switch the 2 wires on the windor motor but thats cheating my concern is the boot wiring id go there first and av a good look at it as ive seen many a bodge done with sellotape, masking tape etc. do the job proper as the wire is brittle where it snaps so chop back a bit either side use shrink wrap and solder joints

thanks for the info guys i looked at the wiring and it all seems ok i had to take the original black tar tape stuff off them so il have look at the motor but its tight work in the frame is there a way to just take the wires out and place them back in motor or do you have to take the whole motor out lol thanks

Are the wires reversed on one of the switches....ie has someone taken the switch out at sometime and put the wires back on wrong ?
