Problem with the window it will go down but not up
Tried the switch that’s ok
Looked for bare wires none

so now the drivers side switch is doing the same !
Took switch apart and now have them going up and down
Getting a new one ordered today

What appears to happen is that there is no controller to cut the window power off when fully up so high current passes through switch and burns contacts.

Checking the window is closed is common and more power is used for up than down so up contacts get burnt more.

Just my theory.!!

I have ordered two LR ones new £24 including delivery not to shabby
I will bit the built and get a new regulator as well
Just bad luck I suppose both playing up on the same day
Or back to square one if the switches make no difference

Fitted two new switches today so hopefully they will solve it
