Thread: Rear LH Window Not Working

If you've done all the fuse and switch checks, Take the door panel off and get a look at the motor, they are pretty easy to take off, 5 mins max.

I have just replaced a motor that was totally burnt out.

I had a similar problem years ago with another car. One window didn't work and I was quoted some horrendous price to replace the drivers control panel as they said it could not be repaired. With nothing to lose I pulled it apart and there was pitting on the connectors so got some emery cloth and cleaned them. Worked like a charm and never replaced the control panel.

Different car I know but it may be a similar problem.

Update - magically it is working again a few hours later! Was after I washed the car so maybe got some water in it.

Something I discovered at the time is that the outer horizontal window seal (where the window slides into the door) had collected an enormous amount of dirt / sand / small leaves etc. you can only get into it with the window down - a small screw driver does the trick.

Mine had a heap of beach sand in it that was all wet and gooey after washing the car.

Worth a clean next time you have the chance.

Thanks all
