Faulty window

Hi guys,

I have a problem with drivers side electric window. it goes down fine, but it doesnt go back up. I have to fiddle with the switch for a while, push it down, then up quickly to get it to go. Is it the switxh or something else thats faulty?

new relay box or dry joints need to be re solderd or clean contact points(in the relay box), had same problem, took it apart cleand the two switch contact points with 800 sandpaper and working 100%.

Thanks will give it a try, which relay box is it in?

in the door there is a black box

Ok cool. gona take it apart now and check it out. Thanks

Stripped it. The relay box doesnt click on the up movement. eventually it does and the window goes up. any ideas how much the new relay is?

Dont buy a new one, open that one and check it first

How do u open it. It looks like a sealed unit?

Its your window switch that is making kak strip that and use sand paper to clean the contacts

Well i opened both up and cleaned them out with sandpaper and an electronic cleaner spray, still no joy. Going to have to look at replacing them. I will test a second hand one first and see which is faulty

Try a new(second hand) relay, i dont think its the switch

new box lol they are gold if you find them
like Grant said solder all joints even if they look good solder them
the capacitors legs break loose and you dont always see it

if you want to buy one

Are both sides not working or just the one

Its just the drivers side door that doesnt work. The passenger window works perfectly

ok i had the same problem cleaning it wont help u need to open it and look where the button pushes down on the contact its not pushing enough what i did was put a small blob of solder where the button pushes down. i could do it for you but you will need to send it down to me. if you want i can strip my one and post a pic for you if you dont understand what im saying

Dry Joints!!!! Arrrgghhh if all else fails try Ingrims camphor cream.

Thanks Jason,
I will check it out first and if I dont come right I will ask you for the pics. The other thing that worries me is the switch doesnt allow for the second switch to work. i.e. the switch that allows the window to roll down or up automatically. Do you think this has something to do with the problems I am having?

Maybe the switch is faulty if you got a a multimeter test if its making contact

I have a multimeter however I cant seem to get continuity through the switch, ( I am not the best when it comes to electronics though). I have a feeling the switch is to blame. Just need another switch to test and see if it is the problem. Will try check it out over the weekend.
