Thread: E-windows go down but not up

Driver's window -Sound like something has come adrift with the mechanicals inside the door- you won't really know what until you take the inside door trim off and have a look.
Pushing the window up puts a lot more strain on the linkages etc than letting it down.
As foi the rear ones, are you sure there is not a child interlock ? Don;t know about Rangies but on the Disco there is an interlock button you need to push to allow the rear windows to work.

As Wayne suggested, look at the child lock (or the wiring to it) for the rear windows.

As for the front, I found that in my '88 RR the scissor lift had damaged teeth in the first instance. It cost me about $40 to replace with a good 2nd hand unit. I've kept it clean & lubricated, but I find that from time to time the motor jams. I have to remove the door trim and unbolt the electric motor, as soon as the motor is unbolted it works fine I just bolt it up again and it works for another 6-8 months. - always on the driver's door (most used) I suppose I should really replace the motor - but I haven't yet.

Generally if it's a mechanical problem you will still hear the motor winding away, but just not doing the job.

So try the switch and listen carefully to the door panel - if you hear the motor then the problem is mechanical,

However if you don't then generally you may have an electrical problem.

Check the contacts in the switches, check the relays (if fitted) you can also hear those click into action when the switch is used.

I had a problem on the D2 the window would go down, and it would choose if it wanted to go up or not. Took all the switches out - cleaned all the terminals, used tweezers (don't tell the wife - they were for her eyebrows) and pinched all the connections so they were real tight. Put it all back hasn't missed a beat since.
