Hi all,

Window now unjammed, so chuffed I even cleaned the car yesterday (covered in bugs now though!)

What was found to be the problem? It's always usefull to know to help the next poor sod.

Turned out to be a duff connection in the wires right by the speaker hole...nice and easy!

Good suggestion though was to check the switches first, they just pop out nice and easily with a gently weilded screw driver

Sorted out my window yesterday night. Again duff connection on the connection block inside the door. Took it off, put a meter on it, put it back and presto!


-only thing now is it's a bit slow and jams slightly at the bottom of travel, any ideas? -frame looks straight though.... tired motor possibly?

Try lowering the window with the door speaker removed. Some poorly routed wires were getting in the way of my window at the bottom of it's travel; shifting them out of the way cured the problem. Hope this helps.

Pete,

Could be the channels need cleaning / lubricating with silicon spray. Search for the thread - its got all the details but I can't find it.

Cheers,
JSG.

Know the thread also, but can't find it. I found another problem with the window. The central part of the mechanism, presumably some sort of rack the worm from the motor attaches to?, was hanging in free space and causing the jamming. Spent 15 minutes searching the house for a correct size bolt to re-attach it to the inner door skin, only to later discover the original in the bottom of the door.

Anyhow, it's now fixed, still a bit slow, but no jamming. Used the trusty WD40 for lube purposes!, none of this fancy new-fangled silicon stuff
