Seems that I have the same problem now.

 

Windows can go down, but won't go up from the driver's door controls.The other three windows will go up using their own switches.

 

Decided to do a bit of advanced fault finding this evening: using the driver's controls I wound passenger window down and up again, then really wiggled the driver's door wires quite hard, now the passenger's doesn't go up except by its own switch. (Have now put tape over the controls on the driver's door so that I can't wind mine down and not get it back up again.)

 

Has to be the wires in the door hinge, doesn't it?

'Global closing' - I can guess what this is, but I guess you might be about to teach me something I don't know about my car that I've had for over 9 years...

 

So how do you make all the windows go up at once?

 

Thanks,

Hold the key in the door lock position for a few seconds and see.....

 

Then hold it in the unlock position and..........

 

Magic??

Just went outside and tried it....

 

Well - I failed the first time using just the remote, then reread your post and tried it with the key in the door lock - and it worked. Blow me down.

 

Wasn't brave enough to see if the global down function worked in case I couldn't get the driver's window back up again - would have been embarrassing or what!

 

I've never come across this feature - primarily because I never stick the key in the door...

 

I recall saying that in the first few months of having the car that I was discovering new features all the time, and here we are 9 years later and another one pops up! :-)

 

Cheers - will test the global up and down ... after I've fixed the wiring!! I'll then know what to try when the next wiring fault appears.

 

(Think that one of the wires to the speakers in the back door has also gone - will look at that one too, I guess.)

Cheers,
