Electric window

ruttingstag · Mar 28, 2018

Hi Guys, the d/s front electric window in my td5 has suddenly stopped working, is there an easy way to tell if it’s the switch or motor?
Typically it stopped 1/2 way down

If it was the switch I would expect it to still to work in one direction. Are the windows fused individually, or one for all windows?

Its more likely to be a mechanical issue, if its moving the switch and motor are working, is there and clicking or crunching sounds, the window actuator teeth may me worn, or window glass jamming if not in the holder correctly. The actuator may be going down but leaving glass half way.
I would start by taking door card off and seeing whats happening when you press the switch.

Edit: Sorry may have misunderstood, thought window was lowering to half way but after re-reading think you are saying it is not working at all now and stuck half way.
I dont know what year your TD5 is bit here's a 2002 on wiring diagram.

Thanks for that, looks like front windows have individual fuses, so will check!

I recon the wire has split inside the rubber sleeve between the door and the bulkhead A pillar, that's what happend to mine.

Is it easy to remove and check rubber sleeve to see if there is any damage in the wire? Or - is it possible to measure somehow with multimeter
to see if that wire is ok or not?
